Matthew 5:11-12
“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Rejoice, from biblehub.com:

5463 xaírō (from the root xar-, "favorably disposed, leaning towards" and cognate with 5485/xáris, "grace") – properly, to delight in God's grace ("rejoice") – literally, to experience God's grace(favor), be conscious (glad) for His grace.
Good morning, Lord, thank You that we can rejoice, in the midst of blessings or persecution, knowing You are in control. How blessed we are, though we are sinful and frail, yet You promise great rewards for us in heaven. Please help us live lives like those who went before us, sharing Your love in truth, no matter what the cost is, we pray in Jesus name, amen.
