Over the past week, I have taken the time to do a little research.The research is in the area of Christian persecution. I thought for the longest time that persecution was only in a Country where you would hear of people being burned alive, or acid thrown in their faces. All in the name of trying to quiet the voice of Chritians , spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I found this persecution,in varying degrees going on all over the World.And in recent days has been becoming more frequent!!!
What brought Christian persecution to the forefront , in my life anyway, was a blog I read. This blog made me rejoice, and after reading some of the comments they turned my glee to sadness. The blog I speak of is by Jean at http://thewomanofvirtue.blogspot.com/2008/10/four-year-old-who-knows-she-needs.html?commentPage=2
I first, read the blog, and was so enriched and blessed at it's candor and innocence. I scroll down to see comments and yes, for a tad,I did get angry! But that emotion immediatly turned to sadness. The cruel,pious,worldly view I read on those comments,were from the people that were lost.Lost and truly needed to be saved. They spoke of self esteem and Christian parents ,that believe our Children are born into evil, we would be child abusers!! They speak of what they know not of. They speak of a Worldly view!! I do think that the abuse Jean has taken from these lost souls was for God's Glory!! Why? We may never know.But God surely Knows!!NO DOUBT!! I also do not doubt that we are weak and God makes us strong!! The trials we go through we must endure!!
Jean is a blessed child of God!! She is on the battlefield and all that have been touched by her story, have come to join her!!We stand beside her no matter what might come! Because as Christians , we know persecution is coming faster and more furious than ever before. Be steadfast in the Lord,trusting him always!!!
