Trials and Persecution

<< < (3/4) > >>

Marlene:
I will keep you in my prayers Roy and Mike! I will keep you all in my prayers. I was never presecuted in Babylon until I was about to come out of her. If , it is presecution for Christ, yes it can be painful. But, there is a reward for enduring.  At least I know , I am on the narrow path and not the wide anymore. Cause, I have actually been presecuted for Christ.

I to find the mental and emotional things hard and endure physical pain. But, they are all for our good. We are all in this together. We have Christ and he helps us endure.

In His Love,
Marlene

This came to mind when reading your post.

Philippians 4
12I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

The trials can be so hard for such a long time. I always wondered how Paul was able to be content in every situation. Then I saw that he learned to be content in all things thorugh hardships.

2 Corinthians 11

I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again. 24Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. 25Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, 26I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my own countrymen, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false brothers. 27I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked. 28Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches. 29Who is weak, and I do not feel weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not inwardly burn?

 30If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.

2 Corinthians 12
9But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
