Words of Jesus
"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 its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.  Remember the word that I said to you, `A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.  But all this they will do to you on my account, because they do not know him who sent me. 
John 15:18-21
 
You have got to love while your suffering and suffer while you’re loving.
— St John Vianney
 
Abba, Father, Lord God, in thankfulness for awareness of Your presence and companionship I come to You today. Looking back at yesterday and feeling ware and thinking when and how I communicated with You. A day filled with the busyness and frustrations under the sun that only serve to separate and distance me from You; but I resisted and kept bringing my thoughts to You. Always aware that in You through Jesus walking in the Spirit that I can find peace and contentment will dealing with the busyness and frustrations under the sun. Yet my thoughts also cause me to question what I do and do not do, am I doing the best and most with the gifts You have given me; so today I ask You to help me, give me a discerning heart and mind, focused on You, yet doing, doing to bring honor and glory to You for what You have done in me and with courage to compete in the under the sun and confidence to know that I do so conscious of Your presence with Jesus as my teacher always being in the Spirit. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
