“Blessed are the poor in spirit: for their's is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.”
Matthew 5:3-5 KJV
As Matthew recorded the Beatitudes, ““What happiness comes to you when you feel your spiritual poverty! For yours is the realm of heaven’s kingdom. “What delight comes to you when you wait upon the Lord! For you will find what you long for. “What blessing comes to you when gentleness lives in you! For you will inherit the earth.” Jesus gives the superior way to live than the law of the Ten Commandments, by giving the promises of power to fulfil all that He asks for. Jesus gives us the capacity to enjoy union and communion with God as we do what He says in full surrender. The poor in spirit have only one remedy and that is trusting and totally relying on God - this is the doorway to His Kingdom. To be totally dependent upon God for everything means we possess nothing and our delight is complete surrender to Him. When we mourn, we wait upon the Lord and receive comfort from Him. Our meekness is the contentment that nothing is ours but everything we receive with gratitude is from Him. This is how we are enriched with happiness and blessings. This is the true way to live a blessed and enjoyable life. Amen!
