As a very outspoken Christian who understands that people are hurting, let me start by saying that I am sorry. From the purest place in my heart, I am sorry to those who feel hated, alone, scared, judged or just sad. And for whatever other negative things they are feeling. I am sorry for that. I am sorry to those who have been ridiculed and attacked because of what their personal beliefs are. I am sorry to those who have been called disgusting, nasty, stupid, hateful, or racist because of who they chose to vote for... I am sorry to those who are looking in from the outside of America, that are seeing all the trash, hate and division that our people are choosing to drown themselves in.

I am almost 22, and there hasn't been this much division and hate in our country in my lifetime. Is this really who we want other countries to see us as? I sure don't.

Before Mr. Trump won the election, everyone who was against him didn't like him because of how hateful he is. And now, those who are upset at the outcome are only spreading hate.

If you didn't vote for Hillary, did you know that you are now the scum of the earth? You are trash. You are racist. You are homophobic. You are xenophobic. You are intolerant. You are deplorable. And You hate everyone who isn't white.

Now, I know this sounds outrageous... But I have seen Hillary supporters call people who are assumed to be Trump supporters all of these ugly things over social media and also to their faces. They hate Trump, and they hate his supporters because he is hateful. Ironic or no?

I don't support Hillary, and I certainly didn't vote for Trump. I actually didn't vote at all. But if I had to choose between the two, I would have chosen him. And I am none of those things.

My hope wasn't placed in Hillary or Donald to begin with, and that still hasn't changed.

People can call Trump and his supporters all of the negative things they want, but that won't change anything. It won't change the fact that he won the electoral votes and the popular vote. And it certainly won't change the fact that he is our next President.

The day that people decide to make the most of their own lives, at home and in their hearts, will be the day that things will start to change in our country, no matter if you are on the red side or blue side.

I understand that Donald Trump being our next President is a scary thing to some, especially those who are involved in immigration in any way. I get that completely.But Donald Trump becoming President is not the end of the world. I believe that the people of America are kind of confused. Yes, Donald Trump will be extremely powerful. But there is literally almost no power whatsoever in his spoken word. He can't just say "Build the wall." and a wall pop up. That will require lots of things being passed, and he will probably need a little built of money. He can't just say "deport all of the illegal immigrants." and then they immediately get shipped out. It doesn't work like that.

But that's not the point of this article. The point is that we should all love one another, regardless of our beliefs. Don't call someone intolerant and then become intolerant yourself and spit your hate at them. It will be a beautiful day when we can all agree to disagree and be nice to one another, no matter what the views and beliefs are.

So here is my challenge to the Christians who read this:

1 - Quit posting your political opinions all over FaceBook, especially if you aren't honoring God through it.

2 - Go out of your way to be nice every day and love on someone that you normally wouldn't.

3 - Build up your neighbors. Build up your brothers and sisters.

4 - Be encouraging.

5 - Stop focusing on how people make you feel, and become more selfless.

6 - Focus more on how you can bring honor and glory to God through everything that you do.

7 - Keep no record of wrongs.

8 - And most importantly, love everyone just like Jesus loves them... Without any conditions.

9 - No matter what their political views and what they believe in. No matter their race, sexuality, ethnicity, or country of origin. None of that matters. Just love them.

10 - Don't just say it, but also show it. Your actions will always speak louder than your words.
