Everyone in this is world is a slave. They're either slaves to sin, or slaves of Christ. Our "rights" are in the hands of Jesus.
The world can do nothing to a Christian who has no fear of man.
The people who really suffer are those who never experience God's presence.
The way to have God's presence is by walking through hardship and suffering - the way of the cross.

Sometimes, all the time I go through a list of "things I would be willing to do for God" and then I feel guilty cuz honestly I wouldn't be willing to do that much for God and yet He asks so much from us.
Its crazy cuz I long for God's presence but I feel like I can't come to Him because I'm not good enough that He'll demand something from me in exchange.
LIES from the Devil.
The Lord allows us to suffer so we can come nearer to His presence and in the times when were not we should give thanks that He has shown so much of His grace in our lives.
When I really think about it. The heroes and martyrs of Christianity were people like you and me. There was nothing in them that made them more courageous or zealous for God. Its not anything in them that made them love God like they do. It was God who completely by His grace changed they're hearts.
So whom shall I fear?
That actually blows my mind.
I get shivers thinking about it.
but God is still good, always.
