Remember.[ Hebrews 11v 36-38]

I attend a little  group once a month where we pray for persecuted Christians,at Christmas and Easter we send cards to such.I had in my car 8 such cards,and was going to post them,in the car I was carrying a passenger,and I told them what the cards were for,and he was surprised,he
did not realise that each of these cards were going to 8 people in prison in
  Iran. Our group sent of 84 such cards,they are but a drop in the bucket,and represent a vast number of Christians through out the world who are suffering for following Christ.
   We must not be surprised at this,Jesus told us no less, in the world you shall have tribulation John 16 v33,He told us to take up our cross,and follow Him.The cross,was an instrument of suffering,for those dear Christians who
are experiencing imprisonment, beatings,rape,death,they are walking the way,of that cross.
     I leave the words of Hebrews 13 v 3 with you,/Remember those in prison
,as if you were there yourself. Remember also those ,being mistreated,as if you felt their pain in your body./
                                                 A  prayer
Dear God have mercy upon the many of Your dear  children,who are suffering,for their Saviour Your Son, Amen.
