<p>Perhaps persecution is from the adversary and the ability to endure and to rise above the attitude of our oppressors is from Our Lord.</p>

<p>Thanks for the clarity Friend Lawrence. Thank you...</p>

<p>Dear Friend,</p>
<p>You post causes me to be concerned for you. Happiness is of God and the adversary would not have us to be happy. Our God would have us to be happy. "Blessed" the word that begins the Beatitudes, means happy and we are blessed and happy people when we walk in Christ.</p>

<p>[<b>8</b>] Be sober, be vigilant; because your <b>adversary</b> the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour</p>
<p>As to witnessing in isolation; if we are without a meeting, we are missing support and nurture but we are not denied opportunity to witness to the Light. It can be brought into everything we do, with others or alone. In the home, at work, even at play, we can be witnesses to the Light. We witness most effectively when we are ourselves "blessed", or happy.</p>
<p>I do hope I have not misunderstood your questions.</p>
