Chris.
Happy are those people who are persecuted. The Word of God encourages us to Pray for the persecuted True Believers because their suffering is usually so great and unique. Many persecuted True Believers never tell other people about their persecution. They suffer alone in silence. If these True Believers are doing what God wants and are Followers of Jesus then they are surely going to receive a great reward when they meet Jesus Face to face.
