Will you allow your sufferings to defeat you?

“Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man.’ As it is written: “For Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” But, “If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.”
