Would you, if you could,
Remain calm
If one or more
Insulted your claim
To paternity,
Declaring your father
Not to be your father?
Could you,
Would you, if you could,
Remain calm
If one or more
Insulted your identity,
The person that you are,
Declaring you to be
A fraud?
Could you,
Would you, if you could,
Remain calm
If one or more
Insulted your allegiance
To the living God,
Declaring you to be
A servant of Satan?
Could you,
Would you, if you could,
Remain calm
If one or more
Insulted your obedience
To religious instruction,
Declaring you to be
In the wrong?
Could you,
Would you, if you could,
Remain calm
If one or more
Of those who were close friends
Insulted you,
By wondering if you cared
They were in danger?
Could you,
Would you, if you could,
Remain calm
If one or more
Insulted you
For seeking and following
Every direction
That God gives you to take,
Disregarding the cost?
Could you,
Would you, if you could,
Remain calm
If one or more
Insulted your purpose,
Falsely accusing you,
Cruelly abusing you,
And putting you to death?
Could you, would you
Forgive them?
. . . Jesus did.

It's easy to complain when we are hurt, falsely accused, and unjustly treated. But Jesus received all that and still loved us and saved us. Congratulations on the win!
