It takes immense grace to maintain kindness in the face of brutal cruelty, especially when you have poured your life, love, family, finances, and public service into the hope that Jesus Christ would save and heal the lost, with the desire for His Name to be honored and praised in return.
Instead, the devil and his followers brutalized your name, publicly crucifying your love and nailing it to the cross we carry, as if it were a sin to speak the truth and show compassion while striving to do what is right to glorify the Name of Jesus.
Beloved church, love, and kindness aren’t weak, nor are they shameful; the traits of our Father in heaven are His blessing.
Love and kindness embody the characteristics of a lion’s quiet roar, displaying genuine strength in the face of relentless injustice, which over time feels like a bag of bricks on our hearts.
Yet, when we continue to show up, loving, forgiving, and extending mercy, the crushing weight presses against the flesh of what needs to change, while the anointing oil pours out over those we teach, even as we silently endure perpetual injustice and pain.
Dear ones, when the world and its wolves show their teeth and continue to take bites out of our backs wrongfully, God’s grace leads us to our knees to pray for direction and healing, not only for ourselves but also for the good of those who hurt us, so they don’t harm anyone else.
Grace stands tall in the face of false accusations and trials, even when belittled by criminals who label us as such.
Grace empowers us to fortify our faith and courage, even in the face of public humiliation as we are openly flogged, feeling battered and bruised, accompanied by a deep sense of righteous indignation.
Yet, we choose to love, forgive, and pray, refusing to abandon our mission. Grace is dignified, demonstrating significant resolve and self-control.
God’s actuality never claws at the face of the enemy but instead pushes back with truth to avoid falling back, while extending our hand with unbiased determination as a testament to the genuine presence of God.
When life is ruthless to those of us whom Christ has called, as well as to any other biblical figures chosen to glorify His Name, it seeks to harden us to the point where we feel we must kill before we are killed.
But we do not submit to evil. Instead, true love endures, and grace never gives up. Grace allows us to continue on the road less traveled, paying a price unknown to most, even when the world and its wickedness have forgotten about us, pretending that we are already gone.
In reality, they see us.
Nonetheless, we pray. We trust. We fast. We forgive, and we have confidence in Christ, for no weapon formed against us shall prosper.
Even from what feels like jail cells, burdened by records of manufactured wrongdoings, we never give up on God’s mission, His redemption, and our rightful seat at the table promised by God.
We never seek our own glory or twist the Scriptures to lie for provisions; instead, we trust in Christ, holding fast to our faith while occasionally receiving handouts from those whom God is using to strengthen their faith and hope in Jesus’ promises to save.
There are times when I share my photo along with my heartfelt exhortations to the community, all because of grace. —I don’t appear to reflect the extreme struggles of injustice and long-suffering we are going through, my joy is the genuine testimony of God’s presence in my life.
Grace cannot be faked, manipulated, or gaslighted by those who do not live in the truth of the Gospel but instead play the victim, managing to evade the consequences of their callous selfishness and deceit.
Yet they haven’t truly gotten away with anything because God cannot be mocked, even though public systems can be manipulated.
All it takes is one dishonest person, surrounded by more liars, to paint a distorted picture, much like the Pharisees did to Jesus.
It’s a sign of a genuine walk with the cross—a life that mirrors Christ.
Sadly, many people don’t understand this because they have never had to endure such trials only a few pay such a cost.
Matthew 22:14 (NIV): “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”
Yes, we grieve for the pain and public humiliation the wicked put us through. Yet we don’t share our struggles openly because we trust in the Word of God; vengeance belongs to the Lord.
All we need to do is step back, rest, and trust in faith that the day of redemption is coming.
No one can stop it.
Isaiah 61:2 (NIV) states:
“To proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn.”
If this message moves you, I pray that it encourages those who are going through difficult situations due to your faith in Christ, your calling in life, truth, justice, and holiness. God is with you.
The enemy will try to whisper in your ear that you’re done, that you’re finished, but that isn’t true. When you have these doubts, turn to the Word of God, for it is where we find the truth. —There are patterns to this truth, and they do not align with falsehoods.
Although you may suffer for His righteousness’ sake, do what you need to do to stay strong: pray, fast, forgive, love, and trust in the Lord our God.
Jesus is worthy to be praised!
Please share this message with someone you love or even a stranger. —the message of Grace is something that millions on social media and globally need to hear, but I have been encircled and silenced by the systems that be, and are unable to see it. —still, I keep pushing back.
God bless us all!
Much love and truth,
Sister Christine ❤️
