9 They share freely and give generously to those in need.

      Their good deeds will be remembered forever.

      They will have influence and honor.

 

The idea that people may try to persecute you because you are a follower of Jesus is valid in some circumstances. Also valid is you may positively influence people because you are a follower of Jesus. Especially when you are different than the average person in a good way.

 

Pray for more opportunities of influence for Jesus.
