Like there's something Jesus and Stephen saw in people that made them decide to keep loving and praying for them irrespective of what they see them do in the physical.
No Condemnation, I'm free! Romans 8: 1. Let nothing hold you from taking God's hands. He is waiting to take territories with you in the name of Jesus. He loves you!
Most times, the things we are led to do by God don't make sense to us, however, our job is to submit or will, yield to His will and obey! Obedience would actually do us a whole lot of good rather than running from pillar to post trying to avoid the assignment given thereby making us liable to storms that could have been avoided and still ending up in the belly of the fish.
Challenges will always come, however, remember this: "For I am the Lord your God
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you." Isaiah 41:13.
