"'All who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted' (2 Timothy 3:12). Clearly, there is a sense in which the danger of our lives increases in proportion to the depth of our relationship with Christ."

As For Me
You've heard pastors or fellow Christians encourage you to claim God's promises, haven't you? Claim them. Take them. Possess them. They're yours.
Did they, also, mention this one about those who desire to live godly lives? Or how about one I heard whispered to my heart today: "In the world you (will) have tribulation . . . ?"
"BUT take courage . . . "
And so I am . . . . . . . remembering that . . .
HE has overcome the world. (John 16:33)
