Last Words of a Daughter of Christ

Matthew 5:10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “

I got my issue of VOM for this month today and I read this story. Her poem brought tears to my eyes:

Another area where Christian conversion can equal death is in Saudi Arabia. Last August, a Muslim cleric is an eastern providence of Saudi Arabia killed his sister, 26 year old Fatima Al-Mutairi, after she proclaimed her faith to her family. Our contacts report Fatima’s fellowship with other believers was mainly limited to Internet forums and phone correspondence. Before he killed her, Fatima’s brother locked her in her room for four hours. During that time she wrote a final letter and posted a poem on the Internet. The poem is below. Pleas pray for our brothers and sisters in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan who seek God in the face of death. Pray the love of Jesus Christ will penetrate this land and people will come to know him.

And We For The Sake Of Christ All Things Bear:
…There are tears on my cheek, and Oh! the heart is sad

To those who become Christians, how you are so cruel!

And the Messiah says, “Blessed are the Persecuted”

And we for the sake of Christ all things bear

What is it to you that we are infidels?

You do not enter our graves, as if with us buried

Enough! Your swords do not concern me, not evil nor disgrace

Your threats do not trouble me, and we are not afraid

And by God, I am unto death a Christian-Verily…

…As to my last words, I pray the Lord of the worlds

Jesus the Messiah, the Light of Clear Guidance

That He change notions, and se the scales of justice aright

And that he spread His love among you, Oh Muslims..
-Fatima, 2008

John 15:18-19 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.”

Just a thought on Churches that close for holidays/weather/events ect.

Maybe I am just too young/ignorant or whatever else. I have been to China and worked with the church there and seen the effort men and women did to go to church. Walking miles or even days to meet with believers to study and read and pray. All this under persecution. Now my thought is, when i get to heaven, I don’t want to see a Chinese brother that was persecuted, or even killed for his faith, and say to him we closed Church because it was windy outside/ it was July 4th/ the super bowl is on. Seriously are you kidding me?!?! Just a thought…
