Suffer for Righteousness

Of course all of us want a smooth life. No one expects for problems in their life.
But unfortunately, problems are unavoidable. And those problems can make us suffer.

But today’s word of God is really encouraging. It is said “Who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good?”
Yes, we’re Christ’s followers and it’s a real good thing to become one. And even if we should suffer for righteousness sake, we are blessed.

Christ’s followers may face suffering for following Him and yet no doubt, we are blessed.
So today, if we still suffer for righteousness, let’s endure the suffering in Him. Don’t be afraid nor be troubled, but stand still because we know that Christ is still with us always and forever.
And those sufferings could be a wonderful thing if we devote it to our God and they won’t be wasted. (-fon-)

And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.”
---1 Peter 3:13-14
