There is evil and jealousy in this world, if you believe in good, then you must believe in evil. if you believe GOD exists, then you also must believe the Devil also exists - Don't believe those who are trying to destroy the good and wholesome.
What Grace is required when we are misunderstood yet handle it correctly, or when we are judged unkindly yet receive it in holy sweetness! Nothing tests our character as a Christian more than having something evil said about us. This kind of grinding test is what exposes whether we are solid gold or simple gold-plated metal. If we could only see the blessings that lie hidden in our trials, we would say like David, when Shimei cursed him, " Let him curse, for the Lord will return good to me instead of this day" ( 2 Samuel 16:11-12 NASB).
Some Christians are easily turned away from their own grievances and enemies. They ultimately turn their lives into one petty whirlwind of warfare. It reminds me of trying to deal with a hornet's nest. You may be able to disperse the hornets, but you will probably be terribly stung and receive nothing for your pain, for even their honey has no value.
May God grant us more of the Spirit of Christ, who " when they hurled their insults at him...did not retaliate...instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly" ( 1 Peter 2:23) " Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so you will not grow weary and lose heart" ( Hebrews 12:3)
Pray for truth my friends! focus on what is good, if you want to be blessed then read Acts:20:35
