1 Peter 3:13-18
13Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? 14But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they feara]">; do not be frightened."b]"> 15But
in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an
answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that
you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16keeping
a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your
good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. 17It is better, if it is God's will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. 18For
Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous,
to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by
the Spirit,
I was reading this, and it just touched my heart. So many times people try to do something good, and the Devil gets in the way. Sometimes people bash their ideas or just push the actual person away. Jesus said "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 5:10)
He also said in verse 11 and 12 ""Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same
way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
I just felt like telling someone today, that even if people hurt you and persecute your good-doings.. don't be ashamed because there is a God who is greater and He will be so proud of you. And you will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. Don't be afraid to stand up for Jesus!! Just remember to keep a right spirit and attitude (1 Peter 3:15-16)
Have an awesome day everyone!! (:
