Bless Your Persecuters
To actually forgive our persecutors from our heart can be extremely difficult; however, we are never more Christ-like than when we forgive our persecuters. When we are persecuted, mocked, blacklisted, fired, discriminated against, and teased, we are not called to withstand it, tolerate it, and ignore it; we are also not to bad-mouth them, wish evil upon them, nor to curse them.  Not only that, we are to actually find ways, despite our anger and our pain, to BLESS our persecutors and desire their best.

A Sheep Among Wolves
As a believer surrounded by unbelievers. Our relationship to sinners is definately a big and important part of our lives. It is always important to remain humble. Even though you are a child of God, love is humble. And love is what we want to do.  However, it is important to be aware of your situation. You are not worldly and do not like sin, they do. You can't let them rub off on you and you don't have to take their worldly and sinful ways, you should hate those things. But don't judge them, you should lead them to the truth through love.. And you need to be dedicated to God in presence of sinners. You need to continue your duties as a child of God. We need to be merciful towards their sinful state. We need to feel sorry for them that they are sinners and feel gracious to love them. We need to love them is my main point.

Relax
Humility is of the most important virtues. Mostly because it's opposite, pride, is one of the worst sins. Humble yourself therefore. Your skills, your abilities, your looks, your social status, your spiritual status. It is important to be humble in all facets. Towards God and to man. Everything you have you have received of the Lord by grace. You can't have love without humility. You will be resisted by God if you don't have humility. Every man shall bear his own burden. So don't judge others and keep your mind on what you need to do, and humble yourself. Not saying "I'm doing better than him, he needs to listen to me."

Come on, dude
Don't you know the friendship of the world is emnity with God? We are separate from the friendship of the world. We are righteous by faith, the world is unrighteous. We sow righteousness and reap life everlasting, they who sow sin reap death. We will suffer persecution, but the kingdom of heaven belongs to us. They will be accepted by their own, because they are out of the world. But we are not out of the world.

War Games
There are no times in the our lives as Christians when we can sit back and relax, confident that we are out of view of the enemy. He comes with different tactics at different times because he wants to catch us off guard. Satan will vary his strategies against you and do everything he can to suprise you. He knows you will probably be prepared where you failed last time, so he will come at you from different angles.

One Good Prayer
Usually when things are looking down the best possible thing to do is a long fervent prayer with faith and praise. One good prayer can turn everything around. Prayer is very important. If you can be real with God and tell him how you feel, give him thanks and make the proper requests life will be much easier. Ask for wisdom. Ask for strength. Ask for hope. Ask for love. Ask for faith.

Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness
People crave many things. Most people crave clothes, money and events. But not you, you crave a moment when you can be righteous. This is what it means to hunger and thirst for righteousness. You want it, you are eager for it, you are just waiting for an opportunity to come up to be righteous. Being like this is promised to bring you blessings.

Meekness
To live to serve others. Even as our Lord came not to be served, but to serve. And said "Whoever is greatest among you shall be your servant". We are to do what our Lord did and serve everyone else in life. This is meekness. Meekness is looking at other peoples needs more important than your own. Let this mind be in you, which was in Christ Jesus.  Meekness is out of love. And is a fruit of the Spirit. Meekness and humility go together.

Your relationships

God looks at how we treat people. How much we love people. How much we forgive people. If you have envy, bitterness, strifes, hate with people, you are far from the truth and love.

A servant of God, by the will of God
Walk in the light. It's not your fault that other people are unsaved, but you'll be merciful and do something about it. Don't judge, and don't think you're better than them. Be a "peacemaker"- reconnecting man to God through Christ. Mourn over your worldly and sinful state, hungering for righteousness. Lead a quiet life with all humility and meekness, serving the Lord, and having an answer ready whenever someone asks about your meekness or moderation. Meekness is to live to serve others. Even our Lord came not to serve, but to be served. Let this mind be in you, as was in Christ Jesus. Be pure - Keep your mind off sin and towards righteousness. And to be poor in spirit is to always be seeking God and his righteousness. As if you don't have enough of it and always seek it until your last day. And rejoice when you are persecuted, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to such. Be humble in all aspects. Towards God and to man. Knowing that everything you have you have received of the Lord, by grace. Not judging others, thinking you are better than others. Neither feel guilty for the ones that are perishing, rather feel merciful enough to pray for them, serving others.
