As I've read and studied the Scriptures it seems to say if we live for Jesus as we should persecution will happen. <br /><br />For now, we have freedom to worship and to share Jesus with those around us, for that I'm thankful. May we all pray for our Brothers and Sisters in the Lord who are suffering the loss of all things for the incomparable experience of having Jesus as Savior and Lord. <br /><br />We are so blessed to live where we live.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />KimKim Jollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670842504983601263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6866624902672903575.post-36570481138545976192016-11-06T11:25:50.757-06:002016-11-06T11:25:50.757-06:00Hi Kim!

As you said, just admitting that you're a Christian can get you tortured, jailed and killed in many countries. Seems like we'll never be able to open our hearts to each other the way Christ did and does.<br />You remind me to pray and pray for our world, and it's persecuted people. How blessed am I that I live where I do.<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6866624902672903575.post-37055252302627591312016-11-04T13:23:43.254-05:002016-11-04T13:23:43.254-05:00Martha, Thank you for praying for our brothers and...Martha, Thank you for praying for our brothers and sisters who are enduring so much because they treasure Jesus above all else.
