If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler. Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name. 1 Peter 4:14-16

Heavenly Father, We thank you for the unimaginably great privilege of belonging to you and of being given by you to your Son. Please make us worthy of Him. We are in awe of the immeasurable love that has been lavished on us to have been redeemed at so high a cost. Please help us to stand firm in our faith, knowing that our reward is in heaven.  Please help us to find our satisfaction in pleasing you instead of in the approval of others. In Jesus' glorious, victorious name, Amen.
