When you are slandered, take heart, the truth will eventually prevail. Let your actions be your testimony. Do what is right, as much as you can, and let the falsehood roll off your back. It is very hard not to take the low road and match attack with attack, fight fire with fire, but this is not what John teaches. Love suffers much, but always prevails in the end. The truth will never fall away. Stay faithful to the truth which is Jesus Christ, “the way, the truth and the life.”
