Good morning, family. Remember that God is with you despite your circumstances. In this life, it is not always easy to stand for what is right, especially when others mock you, gossip about you, falsely accuse you, lie about you, or mistreat you because of your decisions. But we thank the Lord, who always provides answers and guidance through His Word.
We look to the truth of God's Word. Jesus said that when we are persecuted for His righteousness and remain firm, the kingdom of God belongs to us. When people falsely speak all kinds of evil against us, we are called to rejoice. That is not easy, but with the Holy Spirit leading and guiding us, we can rejoice because Jesus Christ holds the key to our lives, not those who persecute us.
We are not blessed for suffering the consequences of our own poor choices. But Jesus teaches that when we are shamed, disrespected, abused, or persecuted because of Him, we will be rewarded because we have chosen Him above everything and everyone else.
