GOD TAKES CARE OF HIS OWN

If you belonged to the world, then the world would love you as its own. But I chose you from this world, and you do not belong to it; that is why the world hates you.

-‭‭John‬ ‭15:19‬ ‭GNT‬‬

The world hates those who are devoted to God, because they are not it's own. Every country gives preference to it's citizens first. However, we are God's own people, so He loves and protects us as His own. In ‭‭John‬ ‭17:14‭-‬15‬ ‭GNT‬‬, Jesus prayed “ I gave them your message, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.I do not ask you to take them out of the world, but I do ask you to keep them safe from the Evil One.”

Since we belong to a greater kingdom than that of the world, let us not seek our joy, comfort and satisfaction from the world, rather we seek from above. We cannot seek our comfort from the one that hates us, that treats us as aliens. We cannot serve two masters at a time. The world treats us as aliens, but God treats us as heavenly citizens. So we don't allow ourselves to be defined by worldly standards, rather by heavenly standard.

Irrespective of what comes our way, know that God's own way of taking care of His own is love, His love dictates how He treats us. That is why we are not consumed by the hatred in the world today. Remember what Jesus said when they came at him, “You belong to this world here below, but I come from above. You are from this world, but I am not from this world. (‭‭John‬ ‭8:23‬ ‭GNT‬‬)

WE PRAY FOR THE GRACE TO LIVE IN THAT MINDSET THAT GOD TAKES CARE OF HIS OWN IN JESUS NAME AMEN!

THANK YOU JESUS!
