Thankfully, a lot of folks don’t have such a hard time. People who follow Christ usually are not popular.

Have not been popular very often in my life until very late in my life.
God has been merciful in both states.

Indeed.
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you. - John 15:18
And again,
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. - Matt 7:13-14
Thank you for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!
