“They oppose me because I follow what is good.” (Psalm 38:20)
Everyone has enemies, and you don’t get to pick who they will be. However, you can pick why they oppose you. Live a life where the only reason people can despise you is because you are “a goody-goody” or “a boy scout” or “crazy religious”.
If the reason they hate you is because of things like that – then let your light shine and hold your head up high. Haters gonna hate.
“If the world hates you, know that it has hated Me before it hated you.” (John 15:18)
