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.
