Rejoice when others see you as worthy to be attacked. Rejoice that you resemble Jesus. Be glad that your life reveals a genuine faith in Jesus. And rejoice and be glad for the glory of God rests on you. The world may hate you, insult you and even seek to destroy you, but the world can never take away the joy you have in Christ.
