Persecutio

Hi family and friends now that I'm finally up and going trying to play catch up have so much to share,but let's start with devotion.


If you aren't being persecuted for your faith,it may mean that no can tell that you are a christian.


Persecution for your faith can take different forms,and it usually involves suffing in one degree or an
other.In some countries,Christians are being arrested,beaten,and even murdered for there faith in God.Any persecution you have endured probably hasn't been that severe,but it could still have involved suffering on your part.Even verbal ridiculing can be tough to take.


If you suffer for being a Christian,no matter what the extent,you can rejoice in the fact that it's a privilege. That's right.Rejoice,because when you suffer for claiming te name of Christ,you are being identified
d with God.It is a privilege to be a child of God,even if you are insulted for it.


Be happy if you are insulted for being a Christian,
for then the glorious Spirited of God will come upon you.
But it is no shame to suffer for being a christian.
Praise God for being the privilege of being called
by his wonderful name!
1 PETER 4:14,16
