Feeling Loved When You Feel Hurt

“God will bless you when people insult you, persecute you and say evil lies against you because you are my follower and they see my presence in you.”  (Matthew 5: 11)

Father,

   It is hard to be rejected because I follow you and you are in me,

      Yet, to feel your love and presence more than makes up for it.

   If I am persecuted let it be only because others see you in me,

      And fill me with your love and healing which overcome any other hurts.

Amen
