The Beatitudes

This morning i woke up late, and because i woke up late, i didn't have much time to journal. It was a pity, because this morning's reading from the whole of Matthew chapter 5, especially these few verses, really ministered to me.

  • You're blessed when you're at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and His rule.

  • You're blessed when you feel you've lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you.

  • You're blessed when you're content with just who you are—no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought.

  • - Matthew 5:3-5 (The Message Translation)


That sums up what God has been bringing me through recently.

Indeed, i am blessed!
