Will GOD blesses you when people say all sort of evil things against you?

Matthew 5:11-12 [NLT]
11“GOD BLESSES YOU when PEOPLE MOCK YOU and PERSECUTE YOU and LIE ABOUT YOU and SAY ALL SORTS OF EVIL THINGS against YOU because you are my FOLLOWERS.

12Be HAPPY about it! Be very GLAD! For a GREAT REWARD awaits you in HEAVEN.

And REMEMBER, the ANCIENT PROPHETS were PERSECUTED in the same way.
