And everyone will hate you because you are my followers.”
Luke 21:17


We must welcome persecution. God allows persecution against the church
to move her away from apathy and to provide opportunities
to advance His kingdom.

I'm still working on the "welcoming" it hahaaa

I can not count how many times I've whined to God about adverse circumstances, etc. He is still patiently bearing me on His wings and training me as He simultaneous is healing me on this journey. I' m soooooo thankful for His "Father's heart" for me and has never gotten angry with me, ever. I DO pray that when hardship or suffering comes that I can not bear, that He grants me the necessary grace to do what I must.

Thank you for this thought provoking meditation and study on this sunny but rather cold Sunday morning in September.

God bless you.

Thank you, Brinny, for your very honest response. I will be
praying on your behalf for the ability to bear the "hardship and suffering" being experienced.
Quick question: What part of the U.S.A. do you live?
I'm guessing the New England area...but I'm probably wrong.

Thank you, I appreciate your prayers. I live below New Yawk. Never been to New England, but it would be glorious to visit there, especially during the fall season.

God bless you. :)

"I live below New Yawk" You may not live in New York,
but your spelling of "York" is the same pronunciation
that New Yorker's use. You made me smile.:)
Hahahaaa I'm glad it brought a smile to your face. :)
