“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. (Matthew 5:3-12 NIV)
Lesson for those that obey God's commandments. Are we a follower of His commandments? Are we true believers of Christ? How much do we believe that God is real? How much do we forsake him? I feel that sometimes we are selective in believing in God and that's the biggest problem. We do not believe fully in Him and we sometimes forsake Him. I pray that we all can always remember to look to Him.
