Nothing New

“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." ~ Matthew 5:11-12

There is nothing new under the sun. Oftentimes, we think the persecution, tribulation, or hate we experience is new. But God knows and has seen everything, even before it happens.

While God has created us each special and unique, the trials we got through are not. We all share common bonds through this human experience.

Learn from others' experience and take comfort in knowing that what you experience is not new to the human experience or to God. Seeking the one who knows all will help you through. 

God bless,

J.W.
