If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
You have reminded us in this verse that as Your followers, we are not of this world. The world may hate us because we belong to You, but we take comfort in knowing that You have chosen us out of the world. Help us to always remember that our purpose is to bring glory to Your name, even in the face of opposition and persecution.
As we go about our daily lives, help us to stand firm in our faith and to represent You well in all that we do. Give us the strength and courage to remain steadfast in the face of adversity, knowing that we are not alone but that You are with us every step of the way. Thank You for choosing us and equipping us to be Your ambassadors in this world.

Señor,
Tu palabra nos recuerda que si el mundo nos odia, es porque primero nos has escogido a nosotros, no al mundo. Ayúdanos a recordar que no pertenecemos a este mundo, sino que somos de tu reino. Danos la fuerza y la valentía para enfrentar la persecución y el rechazo que puedan venir, sabiendo que en ti encontramos nuestro refugio y consuelo. Que podamos permanecer firmes en nuestra fe, sabiendo que tu amor y tu protección nunca nos abandonarán.
Señor,
Ayúdanos a no caer en la trampa de buscar la aprobación y el amor del mundo, sino a centrarnos en tu amor y en tu voluntad para nuestras vidas. Que podamos encontrar consuelo y fortaleza en saber que somos tus hijos amados, y que nuestro lugar está contigo en el cielo. Ayúdanos a vivir conforme a tu Palabra, aunque el mundo nos rechace, confiando en que tú siempre estás con nosotros. En el nombre de Jesús, Amén.
Si el mundo os aborrece, sabed que a mí me ha aborrecido antes que a vosotros.
