The Loners are Loved!

Name: Ian
Scripture: Acts 5:41-42 "The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ."

Acts 5:13 "No one else dared join them, even though they were highly regarded by the people."

OAP: The apostles Healed all the sick, got arrested, told all the people about Jesus. Afterwards, some dude, a pharisee, stands up to stop them from being killed, and they are released. They almost die dong what the Lord tells them to do, but what i love the most is that they rejoice because they suffered for the Name. They are happy that they did what the Lord guided them to do and were persecuted for it. This is one of the moments when you admire the Apostles, just forget about peter losing faith while he was walking on water, Judas betraying Jesus, and etc.

Dear Lord,
I love how the apostles were so happy to do what You told them to do and get persecuted for it and stay strong. Please Lord give me the strength, so that i will be able to do this, when and if You call me to do something that will get me in trouble with Law.

Side Point: The apostles are loners because no one dares to join them, yet they are Loved because they are highly regarded and have the respect of others. So I think I might be more a loner now, when i want to be more loved.
