Ah, I think I was mostly preaching to myself in what I said. The ones who consider themselves my enemies think they have the power to stop me from ministering. They think that they have the power to harm and I have no power to continue to serve because of God’s grace. Those who seek to harm God’s sheep will reap what they sow. None of us can afford to rent any space in our heads over the persecution that we receive at their hands, because it is God’s business and it is our business to be faithful and carry on what God has called us to do.

See what you did to me by mentioning “enemies”? It was an opportunity for me to reflect on my own inability to make peace with those who hate what I am doing for God’s women. Now that I have taken that moment, those unnamed ones will go back into the “uncounted” box in my head. 😉
