I am trying to understand the verse. I love the blessing the Lord gives me every day. But hate the ways of the world, and how we treat each other.

I think it is interesting to me it strikes as needing to hit rock bottom to turn away from all the world offers and to realize only eternal life and Union with God will bring true joy but also the seed image of needing to fall on the ground die and then be made useful for a harvest for many is hope giving
