Verse of the day - Matthew 5:10 (NRSV)
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
In chapter 3 of my third book, Jesus speaks to us about persecution.
Excerpt from Come To The Cross
Be not afraid to follow Me. Many times, My dear children are afraid to follow Me because of being ridiculed. Do not let this stop you. Many persecuted Me for doing My Father's Will. Blessed are you when you follow My Ways despite being persecuted for your beliefs. If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you. Be prepared to face many trials. When you encounter trials in your life know that it is a good thing. Facing trials because of your belief in Me means that you are doing the right thing. Following My Ways instead of the ways of the world is never easy. If you follow the ways of the world, which are evil in nature, the world will love you. If you do not follow the ways of the world, the world will hate you and you will endure suffering.
