There is a difference between anger and hatred. I know that there will always be moments when your flesh causes you to have angry moments. It is not a sin to be angry when you experience a moment of pressure or weakness in the flesh.
My servant Paul exhorted believers to "be angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath." If you retain anger and resentment in your heart for more than a day, a root of bitterness can develop in your heart, and that root can cause the fruit of hatred.
My servant John wrote: "He who hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness and he who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no occasion for him to stumble." Always confess and ask forgiveness of the person you were angry with before you go to bed at night. This way you will not grieve the Holy Spirit. Paul wrote: "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you with all malice: and be kind to others, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you." Walk in the light today and every day, and you will not stumble.
EPHESIANS 6:30-32; 1 JOHN 2:10-11

SOMMER FAMILY BLESSING
Welcome to the blog for Linda Sommer.
My Blog will cover three subjects:
WORD FROM THE LORD, FAMILY, and MINISTRY.
WORD FROM THE LORD
Every day I spend time with the Lord in the morning and He speaks to my heart words that are encouraging, exhorting and sometimes rebuking.
At first, I felt not to share these words with others, but then I realized I am just one of His followers. There are many people who need a word daily from the Lord, but they do not have the time to seek Him. This is why I decided to share the words I received from time to time. The messages are in first person as the the Lord relayed them to my spirtual ears.
FAMILY
We have three sons and nine grandchildren. There is something new happening all the time in the Sommer family. I will post some of these events of interest.
MINISTRY
Tom and I have traveled the world. To find out more about our ministry you may consult our webpage -

I will keep you updated on future speaking enagements and ministry developments.
