1 | Living with the world's hatred?? | John 17:14 | seeking wisdom | 27915 | ||
The world has hated those Jesus has called. Sometimes it seems like the world hates me, that is for sure. I used to be quite worldly myself, and still can be at times, but how do you handle it when it seems like so much/so many are against your belief about God, Jesus, salvation, the way to live, etc.? Sometimes in my life, I have been faced with a very "negative" reaction to my belief in Christ and my desire to follow Him with all my heart. Of course, then when I have those moments of weakness when "all of my heart" isn't truly involved--I can get pounced, emotionally/mentally. I don't know how those who are physcally persecuted do it. I know I'm weak--and I call upon Christ to be my strength. But I feel like such a weakling when it comes to standing firm in the face of ridicule or taunting. Sometimes I stand firm, sometimes I seem to falter; sometimes I can continue to act with love towards those who are giving me problems, sometimes I just get angry and discouraged. This word Jesus has given us is precious and a source of "food" and direction--but it is so hard to live it??? in the face of the world's hate--am I alone in this? | ||||||
2 | Living with the world's hatred?? | John 17:14 | seeking wisdom | 80430 | ||
A DIFFERENT RELATED ? --isn't it odd that we aren't more hated by this world when Jesus tells us over and over again that the world will treat us like it treated Him!!! Perhaps we are living too much like the world, and too little like our Lord?!?! | ||||||
