Walking in the light - counting the cost
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Matthew 5:11,12 KJV

"Hear me, you who know what is right,
you people who have my law in your hearts:
Do not fear the reproach of men or
be terrified by their insults.
For the moth will eat them up like a garment;
the worm will devour them like wool.
But my righteousness will last forever,
my salvation through all generations."
Isaiah 51:7,8 NIV
________________
Commit your way to the LORD,
Trust also in Him, and He will do it.
He will bring forth your righteousness as the light.
And your judgment as the noonday.
Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.
Psalm 37:5-7 NASB

God, Whose grace is all sufficient, be glorified!

The Majesty of the Lord
"Comfort, oh comfort my people,"
says your God.
"Speak softly and tenderly to Jerusalem,
but also make it very clear
That she has served her sentence,
that her sin is taken care offorgiven!
She's been punished enough and more than enough,
and now it's over and done with."
Thunder in the desert!
"Prepare for God's arrival!
Make the road straight and smooth,
a highway fit for our God.
Fill in the valleys,
level off the hills,
Smooth out the ruts,
clear out the rocks.
Then God's bright glory will shine
and everyone will see it.
Yes. Just as God has said."
Isaiah 40:1-5 The Message
