Thanks Stephen! What most of us did not really understand, is what happens when we do take Jesus in us! For all of the joy Jesus gives us in Spirit, and of peace,the world frowns on this with great discomfort! Oh NO!!! Not a real believer!!!!
They are not used to real ones!! They have seen the fake so much, they think that is just the way all should be. LOL The very few who do truly follow, show our real Jesus! I myself never really understood what standing for Christ is, until, people decided to mock me,to make fun of me. To point at me!! ( john 15:18-20) This is also a promise.
What makes this a joy, is many of those same people, came much later back to me,to ask me to pray for them. When times get tough,people do not go to the ones who mock God,but rather believe God!! That is our witness,that is Jesus LIVING!!!! in us!
I just put my arms around them,I understand!! I truly do understand!! I was once counted among them.But now dear sisters and brothers WE!!!! are counted for Jesus! Because how we live,is what we speak on,and what we speak on gives others hope,hope to get out of the stands,and come run into the race! OUR!!! race for Glory in Christ Jesus!! amen!( 1 cor 9:23-27!!) This race!! Thanks again my brother for showing Jesus as well as telling us!!
