Scriptures: Matthew 5:11-12 11“God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers. 12Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way. (NLT)
Nugget: We’ve all been in situations where people have talked about us, mocked us, lied on us, etc. In spite of what people try to do or try to bring against you, God has your back; the truth has a way of coming out. What we have to remember regarding situations like these, is that there’s nothing new under the sun; in the past, people (including Jesus) have experienced similar situations.
At times, we must learn to build a shell of indifference when people treat us out-of-character. In some ways, these situations help us to build strength & faith; God has our back & our reward is in Heaven.
