Blessed are you, when men shall revile you,
and persecute you,
and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely,
for My Sake.

From THE SATURDAY EVENING POST
January 2, In The Year 1915
In every field of human endeavor, he that is first
must perpetually live in the white light of publicity.
Whether the leadership be vested in a man
or in a manufactured product,
emulation and envy are ever at work.
In art, in literature, in music, in industry, the reward
and the punishment are always the same.
The reward is widespread recognition, the punishment,
fierce denial and detraction.
When a man's work becomes a standard for the whole world,
it also becomes a target for the shafts of the envious few.
If his work be merely mediocre,
he will be left severely alone, if he achieve a masterpiece,
it will set a million tongues a-wagging.
Jealousy does not protrude its forked tongue at the artist
who produces a commonplace painting.
Whatsoever you write or paint, or play, or sing, or build,
no one will strive to surpass or slander you,
unless your work be stamped with the seal of genius.
Long, long after a great work or a good work has been done,
those who are disappointed or
envious continue to cry out that it cannot be done.
Spiteful little voices in the domain of art
were raised against our own Whistler as a mountebank,
long after the big world had acclaimed him
as its greatest artistic genius.
Multitudes flocked to Bayreuth to worship
at the musical shrine of Wagner,
while the little group of those whom he had dethroned
and displaced argued angrily that he was no musician at all.
The little world continued to profess that Fulton
could never build a steamboat,
while the big world flocked to the riverbanks
to see his boat steam by.
The leader is assailed because he is a leader,
and the effort to equal him
is merely added proof of that leadership.
Failing to equal or to excel, the follower seeks to
depreciate and to destroy,
but only confirms once more the superiority
of that which he strives to supplant.
There is nothing new in this.
It is as old as the world, and as old as the human passions -
envy, greed. fear, ambition and the desire to surpass.
And it all avails nothing.
If the leader truly leads, he remains - the leader.
Master-poet, master-painter, master-workman,
each in his turn is assailed,
and each holds his laurels through the ages.
That which is good or great, makes itself known,
no matter how loud the clamor of denial.
That which deserves to live - lives.
John 15:20
Remember the Word that I Said to you,
The servant is not greater than his lord.
If they have persecuted Me,
they will also persecute you;
if they have kept My Saying,
they will keep yours also.

America, America,
what price your gracious glory?
Though you proceed for those in need,
yet you're assailed and stalked and hailed
by some, as less than who you are.
Matthew 5:44, 45
But I Say to you,
Love your enemies,
bless them that curse you,
do good to them that hate you,
and pray for them which
despitefully use you,
and persecute you;
That you may be the children of your FATHER
which Is In Heaven:
for He Makes His sun to rise on the evil
and on the good,
and Sends rain on the just
and on the unjust.
Ah, but more who love you so,
say, "We stand proudly for we know
that you've become a shining light
to lead the world from evil's night
that each of us will gladly fight
the good fight, and you'll see it through."
1Ch. 19:13
Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves
valiantly for our people,
and for the cities of our GOD:
and let The LORD Do
that
which
Is Good in His Sight.
America, America,
what reward your valiant glory true?
Psalms 118:15, 16
The voice of rejoicing and salvation is
in the tabernacles of the righteous:
the Right Hand of the LORD
Does Valiantly.
Your KING and your Creator, GOD So
Loves
you
for the great good that you do.
Long may you valiantly lead,
The Right Hand of The LORD
Is Exalted:
the Right Hand of the LORD
Does Valiantly.
Amen.
