More context needed.

Hate is often an emotion felt during the healing process when wronged. Sometimes we have little control over it.

Hanging on to hate is toxic.

But do I feel guilty about feelings I had during the healing process? No, no I do not. I have moved on and I was careful to confess any impure thought or word that occured during those times in my life.

Do we actually hate the person, or are we sometimes are angry with someone for some reason that seems justifiable at the time?
I don’t actually hate anyone, and probably that’s the same for most of us?

Sometimes I feel guilty because a few people in my life can make me feel smothered with their own strong personality.I honestly have trouble being around them and try to avoid them to a certain degree.My priest has said this is ok.For myself I need to try not and think negatively ,stop those thoughts or redirect them into kind thoughts about their positive aspects…and pray for them.
Very hard sometimes ! 🙂
Hate is a very strong word,but I don’t know your circumstances or reasons for feeling this way
 
I use to think I hated someone until I realized I did not hate the person I hated what they did It is a very strong emotion to have I agree and it is like poison if you do not deal with it. You may have to distance yourself from someone until you are at one with your feelings. If you are feeling guilty. in anyway that in itself shows that this may not be hate I pray you will be at peace with yourself and try to move on.🦋 God Bless.
 
Forgiving has qualifications. My own thought is this. That if someone pushed me off a bridge, I may well forgive them while I was recovering but there is no way I would walk on a bridge wth them again. My illness affects mood and reaction and I know what times of day are worst so am lenient on me then. Would never post even late afternoon… Forgiving YOU matters too
 
I don’t hate anyone. I find certain people’s actions despicable,but I don’t hate them. Hating someone wastes much time.
 
Oh yes, all the time. I think that is the first step to eliminating hatred or anger.

You can fall into a trap of righteousness very easily - think that hatred or anger is justified by the fact that you are hating something evil or sinful. The problem starts when these feelings become a source of corruption within you. I read a good suggestion the other day - when you are in a position where you are tempted to hatred, justified or not, think to yourself it is not the person that is acting that way, but a demonic influence that the person is too weak to control, reject. Try it out. If shifts your focus and keeps you in Christ.
 
If you allow yourself to hate someone, then basically, you have stepped over into the devil’s territory.
God does’nt approve of that .
 
Yes. Its like a ministry of praying for your enemy s.
Obedience to scripture not to your emotion’s
