YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Matthew 5:10-11 (NLT) – “God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. God blesses you when people mock you, and persecute you, and lie about you, and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are My followers.”
