Last week’s post No one pokes at a fruitless tree got me thinking: So what does one do if (s) he has haters? For most people the immediate response is confrontation, then revenge. Others prefer to just let the person be but hate that person for life. When people poke at us we normally get angry, and the Bible says it is ok to be angry but do not let the sun go down on your anger (Ref Ephesians 4:26) because the more you bottle up that anger it turns into bitterness and bitterness short circuits the power of God in your life.
So what is the best way to deal with these so called haters? As I studied the Bible, I came across two wonderful scriptures that answered my question:
“Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.” (Lev 19:17-18) and “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;”(Mat 5:43-44)
So someone steals from me or spreads lies about me that cost me my job, yet I am not supposed to revenge or even hold a grudge against him/her. In fact, I am actually supposed to love them, bless them, do good to them and pray for them! It seems rather impossible doesn’t it? Well, remember God loved a sinner like you and me. Think about the worst thing you have ever done, God forgave you for it, because He loves you. Love, therefore conquers all.
In conclusion make up your mind to walk in love. Love does not keep a record of wrongs that others do, is hopeful and never fails. (Ref 1Corinthians13:4-8 CEV) . 
Stay Blessed
