If you hear His voice do not harden your hearts (2) (Hebrews 3:15)

Month of March: The Life of repentance

"My son, if any feeling of hostility resides in your heart for more than a day, you destroy what you have built in prayer and ruin your relationship with God. Cut out any hostility residing in your heart even it was inherited from your family.  Be careful, hostility starts by being dressed in hatred; once you hate any person Satan wants to trap you in its snare, so cut the stronghold of hatred.
