Jesus said, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.” John 15:18-19 NIV
In His Love, Cindy

Wow, Cindy. Your post came up just after mine in my Reader feed this morning. In mine, I was talking about the words love and hate and, although I wrote my post already, God is still ministering to my heart about the topic. And I read this verse just after re-reading my post and it hit me again- with more depth. I love when the Holy Spirit does that! Thanks for sharing this one today!

I love it, too! The Lord is so very faithful to bring us the Word we need to hear right when we need it!
I have been in work situations where I was hated for no logical reason. No matter what I did to try to change the situation, I couldn’t. One thing I know: God works everything together for good to those who love Him. We just have to trust Him. Blessings, ML!

I’ve come to the conclusion that if we’re following Jesus and doing it right, we’ll become more like Him. The more we’re like Him, the more we’ll be hated by those who hate Him. And we have to be OK with that.

This is especially true for our brothers and sisters in persecuted countries like China, Pakistan, North Korea, and more. Blessings, Annie!
