Holiness among Hardships // 1 Peter 3:9
I can’t think of many more countercultural verses in this day and age. God’s teaching is that we must pray for our persecutors, love our enemies, walk that extra mile, and look for ways to join Christ in His suffering.

So, let’s be hopeful, helpful, and holy, for this is our calling even — if not especially — when its hard.
