Today's Thought

 Today's Thought:

“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. Do not be surprised, brothers, that the world hates you. No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word. (John 15:18-19; 2Tim 3:12; 2Cor 4:17-18; 1John 3:13; 2Thes 2:16-17)
