World Hate

Pentax S50

"If the world hates you, remember that the world hated me before you. This would not be so if you belonged to the world, because the world loves its own. But you are not of the world since I have chosen you from the world; because of this the world hates you.

"Remember what I told you: the servant is not greater than his master; if they persecuted me, they will persecute you, too. Have they kept my teaching? Will they then keep yours? All this they will do to you for the sake of my name because they do not know the One who sent me."

JOHN 15:18-21

"Jesus, You are my refuge.
Hide me in the tenderness of Your embrace
when the world retaliates in anger.
Strengthen me with Your grace and truth,
ready to face the world once again."
