Everything we are going through, as ministering vessels of the Holy Spirit and channels of God's Word, is all for the sake of our Calling in Christ, for our Lord and Blessed Redeemer was despised and rejected by many who only seek His persecution and death (Is. 53:3, 1 Thess. 2:15). We either detest or love the Word of the LORD, which we preach and live by, revealing our identity as ambassadors of Christ, who knows the Father very well, so we shouldn't turn away from being faithful knowing that our reward is Divine and neither death nor persecution can take away the Love God has for us (Ps. 58:11, Matt. 10:21-24, 2 John 1:8, Rom. 8:38-39).
Moreover, when Christians are criticized for the sake of our Lord and Savior, we should realize that the Spirit of God is at work in we who are reaching out to the World so the Father may be glorified, who loves us as His Blessed Children, and we will be rejoicing at the revelation of Christ's glory (1 Pet. 4:13-14 & 16).
PRAYER: Thank You, Lord, for I'm blessed and highly favored to serve as an ambassador of the Kingdom, for Your Name's sake, not expecting any better treatment than the King, Jesus. Please, keep me focused on the calling You've commissioned me with joyfully so that I will never be discouraged from offering the Word I've received, by the rejection of those who reject Your Word,
Amen.
From John 15:20-21
