Romans 8:31-3. Matt.10:34-39

Pray to know the Father's will in all things and as you gradually identify it in small things as in great, pray for obedience to it. Such is the point and purpose of all life for individual and community. We are on the Father's side if We are faithful : remember, I am your faithfulness and your obedience. As I abide in you and you in Me so will you increasingly identify the Father's will and I will both enable and empower you to do it. And so it is for all the faithful and the true of heart. And they will live in Us and We in them for ever.

But faithfulness will bring you to the cross of suffering and self-giving . Have I not been there too and am I not with each sufferer in the way?
Be of good cheer, for "joy comes in the morning"
