Thank you Jesus for bringing this here through rizen1, your servant and child.
I ask all who read this to go and sit quietly and ask, what would I do if I were arrested.. if I were tortured to deny my faith.... what would I do..... and go on asking such things as... what would become of my family and loved ones..... what about all the plans I had for this week.... who will feed my animals..... will anyone dare come and visit me....
and in your meditation of these few things.... remember those in bonds as bound with them....
and may the God of all love and mercy and grace quicken His love in you and assure you of His eternal love for your soul... that no matter where you are nor whatever happens to you in this short life, that He has an eternal place for you... and only desires that you love Him... and love one another as He loves you and gave up heaven itself to die that we may live.... that we may rejoice forevermore in His presence with gladness and praise, in safety ..... in His love.
Please remember your brothers and sisters across the world who suffer because they love Jesus and will not deny Him.
And finally, ask yourself this rather easy question....
If I were arrested for being a Christian.... would there be enough evidence to convict me?
Bless you ....><>
