Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Matthew 5:11-12 KJV"... count yourselves blessed every time people put you down or throw you out or speak lies about you to discredit me. What it means is that the truth is too close for comfort and they are uncomfortable. You can be glad when that happens—give a cheer, even!—for though they don’t like it, I do! And all heaven applauds. And know that you are in good company. My prophets and witnesses have always gotten into this kind of trouble."

Reverend, I have to fortify myself with this a great deal these days.
Thank you, Linda.
TB, it's good to remember that when the world hates us, it's because it hated Him first. We're lumped in with Him, and that's a VERY good place to be!
I'd much rather be with Him than against Him!
I just pray I'm worthy enough for His grace....
Amen, drjim.
