God's love and hatred are not arbitrary — they are responses to the direction of a person's life. Wickedness as a chosen way of life is abhorrent to God. But the person who keeps pursuing righteousness — even imperfectly — is loved by God. Direction matters enormously.
Memory phrase: Chase after what is right.
Talk about it: What does it mean to follow after righteousness?
Prayer: God, help me follow the path of righteousness.
