It's not easy, is it?
Watching your friends withdraw from you because you have made the commitment to serve Christ.
It's not easy, is it?
Being misunderstood about your stance, only for you to be called names like pompous, proud, stubborn etc.
It's not easy, is it?
When you are laughed at by the world, by people who are determined to see if you truly end well as a Christian.
It's not easy, is it?
Being in situations where the quickest way out would be to cheat, steal, lie, or sell your body just to make ends meet but having to depend on God.
It's not easy, is it?
Not hearing God sometimes and being a little frustrated because it seems there is no way out of the situation you are in.
My dear brothers and sisters, be encouraged. Truly it is not easy to live in this world since we have been brought out of it. Persecutions abound wherever we turn. Temptations, frustrating situations.
But always remember, Christ, whom we serve knows how we feel in our innermost heart. He will never forsake you.
Let that be your source of joy. That no matter what happens to you, you have Christ and He is always there for you.
No matter how stormy the sea rages, the Prince of Peace is always there to calm things.
