For Your Name Sake_ Persecution I'll Take
Persecution this day surrounds me
Especially from some friends and family
For your cause I will plead guilty
Wherewith I've fallen in love with thee
For this heart of mine belongs to you
To daily worship and be renewed
I vow to follow you to the ends of the earth
Giving glory to you for my rebirth
Throughout my life I searched to find
A love like yours so true and kind
I could never turn away from a love like yours
You are the Lord of my life in whom I adore
I only wish that they could see
The peace and love you give daily
For this world has nothing to offer me
That supercedes your grace and mercy
You are a friend that sticketh closer than a brother
A love like this perhaps closest found in a mother
You're a living part of my body and soul
For this reason I could never let you go
While some friends and family choose to shun me
I'm pressing forward to the mark for your glory
For it is said if you love something set it free
And this my Lord you have done for me
Long ago on a hill called Calvary
You paid my sin debt and rescued me
I'll cling to that cross and your love forever
For daily my love grows for You my Savior
All for you Lord persecution I'll take
It's the least I can do for your name sake
For nothing or nobody will I put you on a shelf
The very Spirit of you in my heart dwells
My prayer today is that all would seek
The unconditional agape love you've given unto me
Through the power of your word to be sanctified
To no longer follow after the father of lies
Praise, Honor and Glory I give to the Trinity
Unconditional love, mercy and grace follows me
Every breath I take and heartbeat comes from thee
Not only this day but throughout heaven's eternity!!

Quote from Pastor Linda Begley to Friends and Family
"There's nothing you could say or do,
that would cause my love to die for you"
Another saying I've always loved...
~If you love something,set it free,
if it comes back to you , it is yours,
if it doesn't ...it never was~
1 Corinthians 13:13 (Amplified Bible)
13 And so faith, hope, love abide [faith--conviction and belief
respecting man's relation to God and divine things;
hope--joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation;
love--true affection for God and man,
growing out of God's love for and in us], these three;
but the greatest of these is love.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~More scripture
Heb.10:26-39
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received
the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth
no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment
and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy
under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye,
shall he be thought worthy,
who hath trodden under foot the Son of God,
and hath counted the blood of the covenant,
wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing,
and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that hath said,
Vengeance belongeth unto me,
I will recompense, saith the Lord.
And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But call to remembrance the former days,
in which, after ye were illuminated,
ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
33 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock
both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly,
whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.
34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds,
and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods,
knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven
a better and an enduring substance.
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence,
which hath great recompence of reward.
36 For ye have need of patience, that,
after ye have done the will of God,
ye might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come,
and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith:
but if any man draw back,
my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition;
but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
