It is very easy to feel alone, to struggle with acceptance, or to think that all is lost in a world that is determined to shut God out of it. But consider this: Jesus never said that hope is lost – it’s actually quite the opposite! He told us to remember that even when the people of God are hated, that we are in good company because the world hated Him, first (ref. John 15)!
In that confirmation, we find strength to know that if we are faithful to God, to obey the command given to us by Jesus to love one another, we too will be in great company and have an Advocate that walks with us. The challenge is, how will we respond? Will we allow the world to strike us down and keep us silent – or will we bravely stand firm and continue to share the truth we have within us?
God bless you!
