“Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake” (Matthew 5:11).
It is hard to “feel” blessed when you “feel” persecuted, but God presents a clear picture in the Beatitudes. We are to hold to the promise that God blesses us even when we don’t “feel” blessed. His reward is far greater than anything the world has to offer. Trust Him and His promise for eternity.
