There is so much to absorb within Matthew 5. I use to think that suffering as a Christian had to do with sharing the Word or when others seen you take a stand for your faith in Christ. However, I realize that persecution, being lied about, shunned can come from just being who you are everyday. My family has persecuted me off and on for years and it has deeply hurt but tonight as I read again what Christ was saying in reference to suffering I understood that our suffering can not compare to what He suffered for me, the world, for just one little lost lamb who is lonely, soiled and stained! Suffering hurts especially when it 's not justifiable but the Word says that our suffering is what makes us strong and teaches us how to depend on His opinion only and right about now? I really need that assurance.
