Do you really want to hurt me?
Simple enough. When people mock you, persecute you, lie about you, and treat you like crap...be happy about it! Do we have that much faith that once our best friend begins to talk a little smack we walk away smiling and praising God that He/She just did that? I don't believe it...but my prayer now is that we will soon become that way. Once we show the joy that is in our hearts, even after the toughest of times, that is how we will begin to reach people for Christ. Remember, your reward is not here.
