“Even When It’s Hard”
📖 “They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service.”
—John 16:2 (NKJV)
Sometimes, following Jesus means others won’t understand you.
Jesus told His friends that people would be mean to them—even think they were wrong for loving Him!
That sounds scary, doesn’t it?
But Jesus wasn’t trying to scare them.
He was telling them the truth so they could be brave.
If you ever feel left out for believing in Jesus, remember—He knew this would happen.
And He promised to be with you.
Even when it’s hard, He gives you courage.
Even when others don’t understand, He understands perfectly.
Think About It:
- Have you ever been left out for doing the right thing?
- What would Jesus want you to remember in that moment?
Prayer:
Jesus, I want to follow You, even when it’s hard. Please help me be brave and loving, even when others don’t understand. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
