Most of my life I have had betrayal and deception come my way, even when I thought someone was cool.
The longer I have followed, Christ, the more this seem to happen.
It's almost like Jesus was trying to tell us that's how it would really be.
People would constantly be competing and striving against one another for the sake of their own glory and vanity and act like that is not their real motive.
We are all the same, but different. Saved by the same Blood, redeemed only by HIS grace.
There is no "If" the World hates you....It's WHEN.
That has been my experience....
