*MEDITATION*
Mark 13:13 "And all of you shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."UKJV
Point to ponder on: Jesus didn't promise the road will be easy, but He told us to endure persecution unto the end for our final salvation.
Jesus never promised it will be easy all the way to follow Him. We can expect insult, hatred, threat and assault, temptation and trials for being a true disciple of Christ. You cant afford to save your face by acting like the unbelievers so that nobody notices you as a different species with the kingdom standard. Remember what Jesus said, "But whoever denies and disowns Me before men, I also will deny and disown him before My Father Who is in heaven." -Matthew 10:33
There will be increase in hatred of believers in these last days and some believers will try to save face and compromise but His grace is always sufficient if we choose to walk in it. Jesus knows life at some point will be tough for believers living in the society where evil has become a norm, He knows that doing business under such system will be tempting, in fact the system will be completely against what could be called godly but you live in such society and so you must endure not to compromise and stay strong to the end.

However, while you live your life you must also be your brother's keeper as you go through life, "[Strive to] save others, snatching [them] out of [the] fire; on others take pity [but] with fear, loathing even the garment spotted by the flesh and polluted by their sensuality."- Jude 1:23
Above all, remember this word of comfort in your daily endeavour, "Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]"–Jude 1:24
You shall finish strong in Jesus name.
I celebrate you.
Good morning. Enjoy His peace.
