I was reading in Voice of the Martyrs this morning and my heart was just heavy for those who live without freedom from persecution because they want to love Jesus and live for Him.
Are Christians considered weak and feeble minded because we don't intimidate, torture and kill those who don't believe as we do; but rather, we pray for them?

Are we feared and looked down upon because we have contentment and joy in the knowledge that, in the end, eternity with Christ in Heaven - where there is no sorrow or persecution - is our destiny?
Are we considered selfish and closed minded because we desire in our hearts that others - even those who mock and persecute us - would know the peace and grace of our Father in Heaven rather than be tormented by hatred and disdain for His people?
Lord, help Christians everywhere to remain true to you and reflect your love, compassion, grace and wisdom in a way that honors you. Protect those who would be persecuted, imprisoned, intimidated and tortured for their faith; and open the hearts and minds of the persecutors so that they may know your love. Thank you for loving us enough to send your Son. May we reflect on all that you have given this Easter. - Amen
