Keep in mind that God's law is more fearful than human law. He who is persecuted for righteousness can become the victor in the end. If we know God, we can live, even in the midst of death. Persecution is the medicine of indemnity which cleanses our mind and body. Therefore, we should pray for our persecutor.
Human ties made in difficult times are really precious.
Satan persecutes but he goes down. Yet even though God is persecuted, He is going up. The spirit who persecuted us when he was on earth repents and helps us through his descendants. In the restoration process, no persecution will lead you backward. The one who gets insulted yet patiently ignores it will be the master.
