“Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart,because I have overcome the world.” St. John 16:33 (NLT)
Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a Christianis a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you area vegetarian.
Let us not be so naïve and immature, but let us also be encouragedbecause Jesus has confirmed that he has conquered the world.Through him we too are victorious. That enables us to persevere tothe end.
Dear Father, thank you for the conquering sacrifice of Jesus Christon Calvary. Thank you for including me in your family. Deliver mefrom the temptations and trials of this life and empower me to be avictorious Christian. In Jesus’ name. AMEN
