"Blessed are the poor in Spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven". Exactly what I wrote about being humble on earth and storing up our treasures in Heaven.
"Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted". When we know where a person who believes in Jesus goes when they die, death has totally lost its sting.
"Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth". Again a humble heart, knowing GOD and believing in Jesus is the key to eternity with GOD.
"Blessed are the merciful for they shall be shown mercy". We need to be like Jesus. Kind, gentle, loving one another and loving GOD above all else.
"Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see GOD", To repent, to turn away from our sinful lives, to accept Jesus Christ, to be filled with the Holy Spirit, to do the Will of GOD on earth, and to focus on Heaven rather than the things of this earth, that brings about a purity of heart.
"Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called children of GOD." GOD wants us to be peaceful and to be like Jesus. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and our Saviour, we become children of GOD, co heirs with Jesus, in the Kingdom of Heaven.
"Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Self explanatory.
Today, let us try to be more like Jesus, kind gentle, humble and pure in heart.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, thank YOU for the life of Jesus on earth so that He could deliver the beatitudes so eloquently and so beautifully for us to be able to read them today. Thank YOU for YOUR grace in sending our Saviour to this earth for us. We thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay truly GOD blessed today!
