Matthew 5:12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
How are we expected to be happy about the horrors people do to us just because we love God? Our horrors in the western world are nothing compared to those experienced by people in the east.

We may not be called to be martyrs, but we are called to share the gospel & many people are going to object and try to ridicule us into stopping what we do. Be strong!
