"Being A Christian Is Not Easy"
Even though there are times when you just might have to hurt someone in defense of your or another's life, there is still room for forgiveness when you are a child of Mine in CHRIST. The Lord JESUS never spoke useless or needless words just to hear Himself talk. For instance, when He said for a person to love their neighbor as themselves, He meant it. When He said that you should love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in Heaven. He said this for one thing, because anyone can love those who will love them back, but the real test will be when you can love those who hate you and want to do you harm. As He also said, I cause the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and I also send the rain on the righteous and the unrighteous alike. Being a true child of Mine means being more and being able to rise above those who seek to harm and perpetrate evil against others because, as a child of Mine in CHRIST, you are better than that.
Therefore, My darling children, it is indeed difficult to live a Christian life, or else everyone would be living as one. JESUS says to enter through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many there are who enter through it. He also says that small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few there be who find it. Yes My children, The Lord JESUS asked way more of people than they were naturally able to give because He really wanted people to depend on The Holy Spirit to lead them and strengthen them to do My will. In most instances all one has to ask oneself is what would the world do and just do the opposite. It is so easy to hate and to deny forgiveness to someone, but as a child of Mine, you really want to do more. Now may you put the devil to shame by being more like JESUS CHRIST as often and as in as many ways as possible, and blessed you will be for so doing, in His Most Precious and Holy Name.
AMEN
