14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified (1 Peter 4:14).
It is God’s opinion concerning us that really matters. It doesn’t matter one iota what others say or think about us. In fact, we are actually blessed when we are criticized due to our faith in Christ. And so we cannot lose, providing we are true to God. While it is counter-intuitive that there is victory in persecution, it is true none-the-less.
