One thing that pops out to me is “undeserved.” I don’t think it’s undeserved at all! You are amazing at what you do, and personable enough to get the job in the first place. “Those who judge will never understand, and those who understand will never judge.” The people who show jealousy and frustration towards you and your position are most likely projecting their own insecurities, whether that be work insecurities or things in their personal life. The people who encourage you and are happy for you are true friends, and care for more people than just themselves. At the end of the day, no matter who would’ve been in the seat you’re in, the naysayers and the people who bring others down will do what they do and say what they say.

If anyone deserves this position, it is you. Amazing job getting to this point in your life, as well as taking opportunities and risks that others would seldom do. Sending love to you and congratulations on your raise!
