Previous Daily Devotional About persecution because of Christ… Matthew 5:11 "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. (NIV) Basking in the love of God and His blessings does not come easily or without cost. Persecution comes to followers of Christ. When you live a holy and devout life for Christ, others may say hurtful and cutting things about you. When you truly follow Christ, you can be excluded or shunned by others, and others may lie about you or insult you because you follow Christ. These things can happen to you if you truly live for Christ because the world does not love Christ. In your daily walk of faith, you must not be concerned with whether the world loves you or likes you. Your main concern each day must be about whether you love Christ enough to wade through the deep water of persecution to serve Him. If you live for Christ, wading through the deep water of persecution means you love those who persecute you.
