This I Believe - written in 2015 and true for me today I believe that everyone regardless of age, race, sex, or religion/passion should learn to accept and love one another for who they are. I am a Christian and I have seen my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ shame and mock people who are not the same as they are. That truly breaks my heart. As Christians we are supposed to love and accept everyone as Christ has and that is where some of us have failed. I will take a recent event for example, the legalization of gay marriage. There were and still are Christians everywhere bashing and hating on the government and homosexuals for it. I do not believe that is the proper response. I believe that we should accept and love them for who they are and how they live. How could Christians ever expect to reach more people and expand the kingdom without first showing everyone that we are pleasant, progressive, and loving people? No one would dream of reacting the same way
