Matthew 5:44 ~ "But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." Your integrity through persecution may plant seeds to bring people into repentance. You may never know about those seeds. Luke 15:7 states, "I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent." These people who are hurting you now may remember the grace you exhibit. In private, they may observe your happiness and wonder why they don't have it.
