To know Jesus does make life better and once you know Him no cost is too great to pay. He is everything. Our hope to lead those around us to know true peace and eternal love is God's desire. God does have standards and living by them often cost us something. We sometimes have to pay a price too. I Have seen Jesus heal many people, I have also seen Jesus radiacally change and touch lifes and He is real. It happens to atheists too. I have expirenced real life in Him. I feel for those who do not know this for themsrlves and think we are deluded. We were purchased at a price and everything of true value comes at price. Others have paid for the privelges we enjoy in America. Others are paying a price now. Jesus changes lives and to endure and overcome pesecution is honor. Many of us Christians can not endure persecutuion as no one likes pain, but my brothers and sisters who sucessfully overcome persecution, have thier lives focus on Jesus. They love Him and others more than thier own lives and without Jesus who can stand watching you family tortued, killed, raped, homes destroyed by hateful mobs. It can not be done in the natural but God's love is supernatural bringing meaning and hope to life and nothing on earth compares to that. Love, forgiveness, joy and peace that passes understanding is in Christ and its in me too because I know Him. The persecution only makes Him more real and the result of our love and our forgivenesss will cause Christian growth in every country where we are persecuted. I know our prayers are changing things in nations where my family is being persecuted. God is real and He Love you too even if you do not know it. He paid a price for you, you just need to recieve it to know life more abundantly. He is real and alive.

In our history many Christians have suffered and many have given thier life for Jesus, it is an honor to do so. I'm not that any of us like pain but to serve Jesus with our all is everything. I agree we need to support our persecuted family in Orissa, first pray seek the Lord and do as Jesus leads you to do. Writing to those who can help change the situation is a step we can make to help too. Supporting those who help with intervention on the ground such as Voice of the Martyrs can help too. I do not trust in any politician nor should anyone in Christ but our hope is in Christ and to follow His lead.
