The morning sun comes up brilliantly- running its course despite the brewing storm clouds. Our lives also shine brilliantly when we run our course for Him. For those Christians being persecuted, even today- God sees and has the ultimate say in justice and righteous rewards. (Read Vanya, Bonhoeffer and Corrie Ten Boom’s “The Hiding Place”).- Teresa

Revelation 7: 14-17 ( NLT)”… he said to me, “These are the ones who died in[a] the great tribulation.[b] They have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb and made them white.

15 “That is why they stand in front of God’s throne
    and serve him day and night in his Temple.

And he who sits on the throne

    will give them shelter.

16 They will never again be hungry or thirsty;

    they will never be scorched by the heat of the sun.

17 For the Lamb on the throne[c]

    will be their Shepherd.

He will lead them to springs of life-giving water.

    And God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”
