Mark 10:47-49
^{47 When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" 48 Many were sternly telling him to be quiet, but he kept crying out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!" 49 And Jesus stopped and said, "Call him here." So they called the blind man, saying to him, "Take courage, stand up! He is calling for you."}

　
What I really liked about this is where it says, "But he kept crying out all the more." That's just the best part for me. That he was getting shouted at to shut up, but he knew that Jesus could heal him so he kept on hollaring! It's just like that today. People tell you that what you're doing is hypocritical and full of hate. But in all reality we are trying to spread love. As Christians, no matter what, we're always gonna get hate from the world but that shouldn't stop us from reaching out and crying out all the more. You're gonna be looked down at, you're gonna get looks, you're gonna run into tough conversations, and you're gonna be sternly told to be quiet. But look at what happened to the blind man, he got his sight back for crying out to Jesus!
