Merry Christmas to the Persecuted?

A picture comes to my mind, a mother wither her daughters snuggled on a couch praying. This picture seems warm and sweet. What more could they want? Until I realize what they are gathered together to pray for. They are praying for the head of the household, the father, the husband. He is in prison. No, he didn't murder any one, no, he didn't steal, no, he wasn't even speeding, and he didn't get a parking ticket. This man was a pastor. His crime, preaching the message of salvation. Hundreds of men, women, and children have been put in prison and even murdered for no more than believing in Jesus Christ. Their glory and reward is waiting for them in Heaven. This, and only this is why they can have a Merry Christmas. Their God is great...our God is great.
