For Theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven

 Matthew 5: 10-12, KJV
10Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
There is no law against godliness, only godlessness. When standing up for what is right, rejoice when others speak negatively against you or say nasty things to downgrade you, for your Just Judge is in heaven. Man can not put you in heaven or hell, so seek to please the One Being who can. Our service to others is done in the name of Jesus, not Joe, Jacob, Janet, or Jessica, just Jesus.

Serve God with a pure heart, seeking to be a peacemaker among the brethrens, displaying the love God has shown to us… praying for His will to be done, not our own.
