Different


Many people have gone through several tribulations and suffered
persecutions in their own homes, at school, work and everything
because of their Faith. They have not chosen to follow the flow this world follows and because of that they have been victims of nasty jokes, laughter and even verbal attacks.
How many times have you heard: “There goes that fanatic! Why don’t you go to nightclubs? There is nothing wrong in going; You’re still a virgin? What century do you live in? Don’t be a afraid, it’s just a small lie, it’s not going to hurt anyone, your mom will never know;
You’ve never had a boyfriend? Enjoy your life, it’s your youth, you’re dumb!”
My friends don’t be afraid to be different, assume your faith and don’t be influenced.
You must be strong and firm, if you’re not then you will always be a puppet the devil utilizes. Don’t allow yourself to be intimidated, don’t be afraid to be excluded from your group of friends or criticized because you don’t do what the rest of the world does, your reward will be bigger than you can imagine, literally.
Don’t forget that those who persecute you are still searching for happiness, and so they turn to drugs, drinking, boyfriends, nightclubs, and live a crazy life. But you don’t need any of those things, because you’ve found true happiness in Jesus.
“The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you. “ John 15:19
“I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

So very true, I have had the percecution brigade on my case for a while now. To be true follower of Jesus, makes the world hate you.

We should always stay strong and believe that what is to come in the end is rather great. We should not let the people around us influence us and make us turn away from the path we have decided to take . No matter what comments they may say they are only meant to make us stronger .

God bless.
