A light shines brightest when it is darkest. What is the opportunity for you when you are targeted at work for any reason?

Let’s get real practical in exploring our responses to surprise attacks and betrayal.

Verses:

2 Corinthians 12:10

10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Matthew 5:44

44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

Romans 12:14

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.
