1 John 3:1c “Therefore the world does not know us because it did not know Him.”
Lord, Christians have been persecuted, imprisoned, tortured, and martyred for their faith in You. I have not experienced any severe persecution, and certainly not any of the other things, but I fear that these are fast approaching in America. Although our country was founded for the sole purpose of having religious freedom, at present everyone else’s rights are being protected and granted but ours.
Lord this should not surprise me. The world does not know us because they didn’t know you. They cannot understand us because they did not understand You. Help us, Lord, in our generation, to serve You well and to learn, as did the Christians of old, how to endure persecution with joy and to see it as an honor to suffer for Your cause and Kingdom.
