Suffering


 Every believer has a determination to make when it comes to the question: Am I going to live my life for self or for Christ?

Look at what Jesus tells us in John 15:20 - Remember the words I spoke to you: `No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.

We are to be "little Christs" to the world around us. We should expect the same results that He had.

We are promised that as we serve there will be suffering. Philippians 1:29- For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him.

Be wise today and always - be ready to suffer as you serve.
