1 Corinthians 4:12-13 (NKJV) 12 And we labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure; 13 being defamed, we entreat. We have been made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now.
A woman cried, "My mother-in-law hates me she has nothing good to say to me or about me, I am so sick of this life." A man saw his son do less than he expected, "Get out there you lazy bum you didn't finish the job, when you tackle that guy hit em again," he screamed." Many are ridiculed and heckled for seemingly poor performance, however that is in the eye of the beholder, that person, that relationship may be doing the best they can.
All God asks of us is our best, "Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31 (NKJV), if we are not seeking to do our best, we are not obeying God.
Friend if you have received Jesus you will experience persecution, "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake." Matthew 5:11 (NKJV), do not look around, look up to the God of Glory and know, He is looking out for you.
Heavenly Father in You we are safe and secure, nothing can harm us, nothing can take us from your hands. May we trust all these difficult things as the tools to look to You. Amen
