No Credit For It

 
I found this quote written down in my journal from last October:

"Their heart was upright before the Lord,
though men gave them no credit for it,
but even censured them:
they were righteous,
though those about them denounced them as censorious.
Courage, brothers!
We need not be in a hurry..."
