"Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies." -- Psalm 139:21-22

FWIW;

Isiah 55:8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My Ways, says the Lord.

Free will is a comforting thought. We get to have control and by it we reason that it makes for a more perfect union with our Saviour, but this is human reasoning.

John 10:27-28 My sheep hear my voice....My Father who has given them to Me,..

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Amen.

"I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them." -- John 17:9-10
