You are blessed
January 14, 2010
Linda got this from Mary Johnson and I thought I would share it with you!
I love the scripture passage of the Beatitudes, as it reads in The Message, from Matthew 5
~ You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God…
~ 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..
~ You’re blessed when you’ve worked up a good appetite for God. He’s food and drink in the best meal you’ll ever eat.
~ You’re blessed when you care. At the moment of being ‘care-full’ you find yourselves cared for.
~ You’re blessed when you get your inside world – - your mind and heart – - put right. Then you can see God…
In the New King James the key scripture is Matt 5:6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness....” that says it all. Hungering for ‘more of God, less of us’.
