Being awake, speaking the truth, and doing the right thing takes courage. It is not the easy path through life. It is the hardest path. You will be persecuted, insulted, deplatformed, disowned, fired, and hated by the wicked and those still sleeping and brainwashed. The evil spiritual forces of this world will come against you. This is all worth keeping your soul intact - no matter how hard it gets. Thanks to all of you who take a stand for and defend the good, the beautiful, and the true. You were chosen out of a fallen world and God woke you up for a reason.
"If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world." - Jesus Christ
Thank you for posting this. I hadn’t connected this verse to our current situation; not sure why. It fills me with hope.
Yes, I agree. Thanks, bgny, for sharing that passage and how it relates to us today. I just re-read John 15:9-25. So apt and affirming.
