In light of the whole Chick-fil-a fiasco that has commenced throughout the internet, I began a search for intolerance of Christians. And I came across a few articles that really resonated with me. The first of which explains that WE, as Christians, are considered intolerant. And if held to today's standards, Jesus would also be considered intolerant. In fact, He would be the MOST intolerant person. Here is the article:

After that I continued on and read another article, which explains that if we didn't expect people to be intolerant of us, we should probably re-examine our faith in Christ. He told us that we would be discriminated against. That article can be found here:

So I guess the hippie in me will never be satisfied. People will always hate me for my faith in the Lord. I have to get used to it and learn to love them anyway. Because that is what Christ did. He hated the sins that people committed, He confronted those who sinned and told them to turn away from it. But at the same time, He continued to have a deep love for them. He never stopped loving them. He will never stop loving them. He has such love for us that He paid for our sins with his life. I am truly amazed at the all encompassing love from my Savior, Jesus Christ.
Thank you, Father. Thank you for teaching me. Thank you for continuing to teach me. Thank you for your patience when I falter. Thank you for my faith in you. Thank you.
