Blest are you who suffer hate
All because of me.
Rejoice and be glad
Yours is the kingdom
shine for all to see!
You know, if this is true (and I’m sure it is, cause Jesus said it Himself) I cannot wait to get the Kingdom! (: I cannot tell you how many times I’ve experienced hate from others because of what I do, or how I live, or because of the faith I have. And it’s tempting to downplay that. It’s tempting to not talk so much about my faith around so-and-so because they don’t like it. It’s tempting to not talk about my job with this group, because they don’t understand. And honestly, sometimes I give into those temptations. But I like the end part of it: shine for all to see. It’s kinda like a little cheer from God: Don’t give up! Keep shining, keep showing your faith, keep talking about Me and what I’m doing in your life. Even though you’ll experience hate, even though you will receive unkind words, it’s all for Me, so do it! I think I really needed to hear that cheer tonight.
