Blessed are you when people hate you...

I think this quote and verse are worth sharing. I came across them in a book I've been reading. Hope it can speak into somebodies life.

If Jesus had tries to make everyone happy, we would all be lost. If self-centered people are angry at you, it means you are learning to say no to evil. If mean people are displeased with you, it means that you are standing up to abuse. If Pharisaical Christians judge you, it means that you are becoming like your Savior. If your parents don't like the decisions that you as an adult feel God has led you to make, it means that you are growing up.    - Dr. Henry Cloud

"Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil on account of the Son of Man!Rejoice in the day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets."     Luke 6.22-23
