Christians who are outcasts in their communities, household and families......
Don't forget the words of Jesus Himself:

Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home." (Mark 6:4)

For many believers, especially those who are more awake to what is going on in the world and the signs of the times all around us, it can be a very lonely path. We can have a hometown that thinks we are crazy, a household that is sick of hearing our "paranoid rantings" and family members who laugh at us because they feel that they know us so well that we can't possibly be used by God in any meaningful way.

Take this to heart that when the world is rejecting us, even those people closest to us, it is probably a sign that we are on the right path and the Holy Spirit is using us. Even if it feels isolating sometimes, we have a much greater blessing in this world and the next and we all share in this burden together as one.

Matthew 5:11-12

11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.


Have a blessed day my brothers and sisters!

1 star all you want, you can't stop the movements of the Holy Spirit


Satan couldn't stop this centuries ago and he will not be able to stop this today!

Whats really really weird is your own family know you so well they cant imagine God using a misfit stuffup such as yourself..

And yet God...who KNOWS you 1000% more deeply...every little though..mistake..attitude..everything...including what you do and think and say when NO one is there to see...

And yet...despite this...HE DOES use you.

In some really strange ways too.

He makes the most of every situation and personality.

36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

---------------

Correct

It's what we do with the rejection that matters most. If you care more for your family and give up in order to keep them happy, who do you love more?

If we love Jesus more we would never give up on the others we love. We know the seed planted will grow and produce fruit with patience and time just as we did.

If you are forsaken because of Jesus Christ. How much more beautiful does that make you? The death of him on the cross was for us all. His salvation was the MAIN purpose of his gospel. He spread his words and his teachings so that we may be redeemed and collected from mankind (from humankind!).

If they hate you because of someone so beautiful. How evil must it be? How much greatness can come from this? To love someone so wonderful and be hated because of it? There exist love beyond any hate. If you are hated without reason, without cause for his sake. You'll be OK!
