“Haters gonna hate.” Our world is no stranger to hate. It seems like people hate everything—vegetables, traffic, cats, doctors' offices, flossing your teeth, the new Fortnite map, social distancing, sunburns, and the list goes on and on and on. You would probably agree that you hate several of those things. 

But how does it feel when someone hates you? Maybe you have felt hated because of how you look, the way that you talk, or the people you hang out with or the God that you love. If you have ever felt that way, you are in good company. Jesus reminded His disciples that if they ever experienced hate in this world, they should remember that the world hated Him first. 

If you ever wonder why you are experiencing hate from friends, family, or peers at school, just smile knowing Jesus experienced the same thing. He knows what you are going through. Does that give you an extra dose of hope for your day today?
