Happy are you when people abuse you.
Denounce your name as criminal.
All this is nothing new.
And it is pivotal.

As I listened to these words.
My mood brightened.
We may not be able to fly like birds.
But there  is no need to be frightened.

Things may go wrong all the time.
Our life of career has not turned out as we hoped.
We are no longer in our prime.
But to this life we are not for ever roped.
Things will get better next time.

So our difficulties will be rewarded.
And they will be recorded.

…….

We may be abused
We may be called criminal
But it’s to the best

……..

See Luke 6 : 20-26
