ROMANS 12 : 14
“Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.”
Our Lord blessed even those who ridiculed Him even after crucifying Him. Persecution invariably comes from within, our own people.
We are to show love even to our enemies, and this must guide our behavior towards all. This is love in action.
Be patient and pray to the Lord to shine His glorious light on them!
