It’s a known fact. I can’t STAND the New Orleans Saints. Nope, not at all. I don’t know them personally, but that doesn’t matter. I just don’t like them. Why? Because they are division rivals? Not quite. Honestly, it’s because they do a GREAT job at beating my Atlanta Falcons more often than not. The Panthers and Buccaneers are also division rivals, but they don’t pose any REAL threat. The Saint’s however, do. Here’s the lesson in my brutal honesty. People don’t hate on you because you are mediocre. They hate on you because you’re good and you pose some type of either real or imagined threat to them. The good news is that if you’re hated on, REJOICE! Let the haters be your motivators that you’re on the right track. I still don’t like the Saints… but hey… take it as a compliment.. or whatever. I don’t care
Matthew 5:11-12 – Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
