"Be happy when you are blamed and accused……" — Teresa of Avila

Be happy when you are blamed and accused wrongly, for then you… - Teresa of Avila
"Be happy when you are blamed and accused wrongly, for then you have the chance to see all the bitter, hostile or self-pitying responses that your sinful soul wants to spew out - as if these puny things could in any way defend you! Watch and see if any of these poisons come out of you when your spirit is pricked by an accusation. Only then can you see yourself as you are, and confess thy sin that is within you and forsake yourself again into the Lord's care."
