Poetry
We have all heard of “pity parties” but I think we have it backwards.
Jesus said the time we are to party and rejoice is when we are
persecuted or lied about. So rejoice!
If you have been falsely used or accused, that is the time to be
“exceedingly glad” Christ said. That sure sounds like a party to me -
so call your friends and celebrate!
We can’t be arrogant or offender types, but if we have been
mistreated or treated unfairly, we shouldn’t be moaning. The Savior said we should be happy!
The servant is not greater than the Master and Jesus was treated
cruelly. So sometimes it will be our experience to be victimized and
treated unfairly - start rejoicing!
Jesus said we are blessed and our reward is great in heaven, because we are sharing in the suffering of Christ. So call a party!
The devil would be trying to discourage us by hardship, but God said we
are in a favorable position - so go ahead, plan a party!
We must have him scared if the devil is attacking – we’ve been raising heaven and we are making kingdom progress for the Master. Rejoice!
So call your friends and celebrate your growth - put the icing on the cake by sincerely praying for the ones who accused you! Be exceedingly glad!

I was just on my way to one of those, Pity Parties. Wow! Thanks for pulling me back. Just in the nick of time the Lord always pulls us through in some miraculous way. Thanks for your words, their purpose is being fulfilled.
