Have you ever felt persecuted? Maybe you have followed your highest sense of right, only to find that others have misinterpreted your intentions?
Right now, if an unpleasant situation seems huge and unsolvable, you may be tempted to throw up your hands in despair and say, "Forget it. It's just too overwhelming." Perhaps that's why Christ Jesus assured us, "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." Matt. 17:20.
Faith that nothing is impossible to God and that there is hope for a solution is a good place to start. All good has its source in God, the only cause. And a good cause must inevitably lead to a good effect. In reality, you have never been separated from the omnipresent love of God. Knowing this truth will help to lighten burdened feelings. But while the expectancy of good is vital, we need to have a firm basis for our confidence in God. Besides faith and the hope that goes with it, we also need spiritual understanding of this ever-present all powerful God, Love. As we accept our real inseparability from Love, and illustrate this inseparability in our living, we master any form of persecution.
