11 “Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew 5

And, for me, the greatest difficulty compounding this blessing is when someone you love and care for is persecuted.
