Have you ever considered that some persecutions you face are because you’re NOT following the will of God?

I can testify that before I came back to the Catholic Church that there were persecutions that came my way to lead me away from protestant beliefs.

The point is that not every persecution is what you might want to believe

Of course, don't we all constantly check ourselves?

I am always taking my Spiritual "vitals:"

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. - Galatians 5:22-23

If the fruits are there, they are His. If the fruits are not there then I have wandered outside of His Light and I confess my sins.

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. - I John 1:5-10

Maranatha, Jesus!!!
