Kevin J. Bowman - a pilgrim trying to be the hands and feet of Jesus

"Dispossessed" T shirts? I wear a 2X. "Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Notice that it is past tense, "have been persecuted", and not present or present perfect tense as in "are continually persecuted". Therefore we are to be thankful that we don't have to put up with that all the time. I hope and pray that your persecution is short lived. One of my favorite parts of scripture is "it came to pass", it didn't come to stay, it didn't come to linger, it didn't move in permanently, it came to pass, and pass it will. Be strong, pray often, trust in Him who strengthens you and laugh when you can.
