Matthew 5:10-12 "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."

Life is full of challenges in every area of our living.  I want to encourage you this week as you face decisions regarding voicing or demonstrating your loyalty to Jesus Christ.  Take courage and draw upon the Holy Spirit's ministry in you for each opportunity that comes your way this week at work, school, play, in your family, neighborhood or city!  You are blessed by God as a citizen of His kingdom, and as one engaged in and being supported by an tremendous team of believers.  Now, share your love for Christ in all that you do, say and think this week... give Him all the glory!
