Message of the day: a sword. As a christian, I see how today who tries to follow God will possibly face hate, misunderstanding and division, and that's because there are people who doesn't accept the truth in God, but we have to remember that Christ already won the battle for us
Not everything requires a sword you know. Go help the least of your local community. And then you will also have treasures stored up.
After all, it's possible you may never see some of these again. Either for forgetting for being saved and redeemed, or for being in the pit for so long that they eventually forget why they even got sent there in the first place. Afterwards, there's no more changes to be made.
