Somehow love incites both love & hate with equal force. The mission of Christ would be so easy to embrace & carry out if love always resulted in love, but it does not. It seems the world insists that love be proved. So then those who claim love are required to endure hate's most brutal tests (rejection, suffering, persecution, & death). ~tBW
Dearest God the Father who allowed His Son to be rejected and suffered until death all for the sake of proving Your Love,
What an awesome task to take on! Oh, how frail we are! Only in Your Everlasting Arms can we be safe and full of Joy even in persecution! As I prayed for Abdul Rahman, I knew of the persecution that would follow him. He knew as well. Your Hand was there to change hearts and to hide Abdul until he reached safe land. I put myself there... asking myself what would I do? What should I have hidden in my heart to endure? I will continue to ask...
Thank You for prayer! It has so changed my life. Prayer is not a list of wants or needs rather it is connection between believers and declaring Your Attributes. Thank You for such a journey and an epiphany!!
