Been having a rough time lately...Sooo As i do often I set the bible on its spleen, pray for God to direct His message to me and let it fall open....today these are Christ's words to us all....
Matthew 5.3:
How blest are the poor in spirit:
the reign of God is theirs.
Blest too are the sorrowing; they shall be consoled.
[Blest are the lowly; they shall inherit the land. ]
Blest are they that hunger and thirst for holiness; they shall have their fill.
Blest are those who show mercy; mercy shall be theirs.
Blest are the single-hearted for they shall see God.
Blest too are the peacemakers; they shall be called sons of God.
Blest are those persecuted for holiness' sake; the rein of God is theirs.
Blest are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of slander against you because of me. Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is great in heaven; they persecuted the prophets before you in the very same way.
I feel better now...hope you do too
Blessed is the friend who posted this. Amen.
I humbly thank you fren...
I thank you as well. God bless.
We have the Mighty of Mighties fighting for us. We must do our part! He is faithful and just to forgive and save.
God bless!
Thank you friend. I have a feeling that in the coming decades, remembering these words will be increasingly important. If things don't get better, believers are going to get persecuted more and more. Just like at Canada right now. But we have to have faith, and find joy in persecution for Christ's sake. Our treasure ain't here on earth. Peace and God bless
My prayers go out to Canada....used to travel there often to ride your beautiful country....what has happened to your country is sad. Stay strong brothers and sisters to the north..Have faith that salvation is coming for us all!
Blessings fren...
Thank you for sharing!
