Peter wrote, “If ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled” (1 Peter 3:14). Being persecuted while bearing the name of Jesus Christ and while trying to be Christlike is nothing new. It has happened to many people greater than we throughout the ages. Paul wrote, “All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:12). And we will be blessed for it. How great is our reward? “All that my Father hath shall be given unto [you]” (D&C 84:38). How do we endure the painful persecution? “He also gave them strength, that they should suffer no manner of afflictions, save it were swallowed up in the joy of Christ” (Alma 31:38).
