I'm trying to imagine such horror. I think about persecution quite a bit. In the present climate of our nation, I fully expect to be persecuted for my faith, if God deems me worthy of such an honor, however I worry that I will bring shame to Him. John Piper's message in this clip helps me to remember that His mercy is new every morning and he will provide the grace that I will need.
I am so with you on that - I fear I would disappoint God hugely if I were to be faced with this type of persecution!
ReplyDeleteTells me I have some serious surrendering to do!
