BLESSINGS TO THOSE RECEIVING PERSECUTION FOR CHRIST'S SAKE,

Even in this very hour there are some Believers that will suffer violent death for their refusal to deny Christ.  Each of us at some point will suffer persecution in His Name, maybe some suffering less than others.

One of the churches that I fellowship in from time to time had their windows broken this week and evil graffiti written on the church walls.  I was pleased to see that the Pastor's first thought was to pray for those that wielded their hands against the church building.  Reminded me that Believers are an odd upside down people that the World thinks are weird.
