Good Friday morning. People may mock our message but they can't stop our prayers. There are many forms of persecution some are life threatening some are not whatever the case it's heartbreaking. Persecution that comes from non-Christian family members can be most heartbreaking. When loved ones ridicule our faith and Mock us for what we believe and how we express our love for God, we feel rejected and unloved.
Paul warned believers that following Jesus would result in persecution: "All who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution," and we know that sometimes rejection will come from those we love. But when people we love reject the God we love, the rejection feels personal. Jesus told us to pray for those who persecute us, and that includes more than strangers who hate us. God is able to give us grace to persevere through persecution even when it comes from those we love.
( Bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who persecute you. Matthew5:44 ). Have a blessed day.
