Stand, because God Loves YOU

My heart was warmed this week when I saw pictures of the human wall, blocking a protest, created by students at a campus that is not my alma mater, but still a school that I attended and often display their logos on my clothes. 

I looked at the pictures of the snow covered streets that I so often walked in the past 3 to 4 years. On one side, a well known protesting group held signs that said, “God hates fags” another sign suggested that Mizzou is a “fag enabling” place. The other side, the streets were lined with students wearing black and gold shirts that said, “Stand with Sam”

Many people would conclude that with my moderate political views I would have just been in the median of the street not taking sides.  Not true. 

I would have stood with the students who stood with Sam.  Since I was blocking a protest I wouldn’t have had a sign, but if I did have a sign, this is what it would have said.

Just because you say that God hates something doesn’t mean that God actually hates anything.  I don’t think hate is the opposite of love, rather hate is the absence of love.  God even loves people that say God hates this or that.  Just imagine, the possibilities this world would have if everyone knew how much God loves.  And God does love, he loves you and everything you do or don’t do. 


God loves everyone, regardless of the side of the street they were on, and even though I know I would have, and did take sides, I think we would all be a little better off if we all just remembered that God Loves Us All.
