Love is the most powerful force that exists. Add love to forgiveness and you have a very, very powerful combination. You cannot forgive without a true loving heart. When you see the pain that people have felt and had to deal with you can see how God can forgive - and you can do this as well. Forgiveness frees the forgiver of pain and anguish, and frees the guilty so that they can start again.
One of the things to do is to be humble and forgive and forgive every time you are attacked (it takes some belief to do this but it can be done). Keep a tender heart and know that your attackers are as Stephen knew his, that they know not what they are doing for they don't understand you and your golden heart. But still be good and faithful and keep a good humble heart, again and again.
You may feel some tears, emotional pain and sorrow under their stares, but it takes a far stronger person to stand up to attack and show love, than to attack as the attackers attack and yield result of more anguish, pain and sorrow.
While following what you know is right, even under false accusations, keep yourself in the trust of God. Pray for your attackers, love them as you know that they have made a drastic mistake and in time, God will show them the errors of their ways - be patient and keep loving and forgiving.
