Hallmarks Of Blessedness
"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 God. " The 8 beatitudes that Jesus mentioned on the sermon on the Mount represent the hallmark of a blessed child of God. They described someone who is called, loved and blessed by God. The Word of God gives us great comfort, at the same time, He also challenges us to examine our faith. Today, are we still poor in spirit? Have we started to feel strong in our human abilities and rely on them more than seeking God and needing God? Today, whatever season we're in, do we receive with meekness the implanted Word that can save our soul or are we selective in hearing the Word, only taking those Word that are aligned with our impulses? Are we always drawing near to God, or are we always putting God on the waiting list and not wanting to look to Him first when we're put into fire of tests? Are we mourning and thus become contrite in Spirit and cry to God, or are we overwhelmed by accusations and thus hide away from His calling and love today?
