In today's first reading from Acts 5, the Sanhedrin had the Apostles flogged and ordered them to stop speaking in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them. But they rejoiced that they had been found worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the the name. This seems to go against the grain of human nature, yet for God's sake, anything is possible. The Lord can indeed win our hearts and transform us. If you realize that loving and obeying God is more important than caring about yourself and anything else, congratulations! For you are now a new creature whom the Lord has set free. Alleluia!
