When you've been wronged
Mocked for your faith
The smirk in the seminar, the family jokes at Christmas, the invitations that stopped, the career doors that quietly closed. Jesus promised this would happen and then said something outrageous about it: 'Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven' (Matthew 5:11-12). This path checks the real cost — and the strange blessing.

The room where you go quiet
Check where you've started pre-editing yourself — the joke absorbed, the belief unspoken. Silence bought with fear compounds; account for what it's costing.

Left out for what you believe
The friend group that moved on, the family seat that got colder. Exclusion for the faith is real rejection with a real sting — and very old company.

Answering contempt
Contempt invites contempt back — the clever comeback, the counter-mockery. 'With gentleness and respect' (1 Peter 3:15) wins arguments mockery never will. Check your reflex.

The only one at the table
Being the only believer in the room, the office, or the family is a long loneliness. Check its weight — and whether you've found the others (they exist).

In the company of the prophets
A joy check on the strange honor: 'for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.' The mockery filed you — with them, and with Him. Rejoice and be glad is a command with a reason.
