Joy in the midst of persecution seems like the most unlikely of responses, and the most difficult to actually put into practice! It’s hard to react positively when we are in a tremendously difficult situation due to our faith! Pastor Ed today wants us to remember, however, that while we are guaranteed persecution as Christians, we are not alone. And beyond that – we have an incredible and perfect Father in Heaven who is ready and eager to tell us how proud He is of us! So rejoice friend, God is on your side!
