Persecution

April 18

This week at church we saw a short video on persecution of Christians around the globe. It made me realize how safe I have it as a Christian in America.

I haven't been persecuted, “insulted” or "suffered dishonor" for His name in this country. The closest I have come is my adult children looking embarrassed when I say grace at a meal in a public restaurant. Once a person seeing my dove pin said sarcastically, "Oh you are born again."

"If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed for the spirit of glory and of God rests on you."
(1 Peter 4:14)
