Do you want to go on? Do you want to remain strong? There is a command of the Lord to rejoice that you mustn’t over look. For in your rejoicing, God’s Hand will cover you and shield you in the face of persecution. And you can continue to enjoy the journey with God. No stay joyful, laugh, sing, this brings a covering to you soul like a shield, and your satisfying fulfillment in life it will yield.
Matthew 5:11
11Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
