Great & Humble

While reading the Bible (Acts 5) it stated that Peter, John and other Apostles were told to stop their preaching or be punished, however they continued to preach the word of God in Christ’s name. They were flogged for disobeying…After the flogging they departed. Acts 5:41 So they departed…“rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name”. What an amazing accounting of the Apostle’s greatness and humility. They were proud to be counted worthy to suffer for Jesus. In our day and age letting people know we are Christians is a struggle for some. They don’t want to be characterized as Bible carrying Evangelical saints for God…and would certainly fold at the first threat of bodily harm or jail time. Yet, our world would be kinder, more compassionate and understanding to those around us. “Love thy neighbor as yourself “how do we accomplish this without the love of God? As we become more mature in our Christianity it is very apparent what God wants from us and being human makes it difficult at times. My prayer is we learn to love God, become faithful followers and to trust in all circumstances. Let’s do what is right and make our choices as if He is sitting right next to us. What a blessing that would be. Smiles & Blessings, Cynthia Collins Kaitfors
