“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
– Jesus Christ, Mat 5:10–12 (NKJV)
Word of Encouragement
I myself have for 29 years been waiting for an answer to prayer… and still I have not the full answer yet. Nevertheless, I look for it. I expect it confidently… and so fully am I assured that God hears me about this matter, that I have often been enabled to praise Him beforehand for the full answer… Thus, you see… I have also, like yourself and other believers, the trial of faith concerning certain matters.
