Happy are those who are persecuted because they are good; for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. Matthew 5:10

Lord I must admit that I find it very hard to be ‘happy’ when I am persecuted because I am ‘good.’ It takes me a whole lot of praying and trusting in You to help me get to the ‘happy’ stage. Oh yes I know that You are with me. Yes, I know that heaven is my final resting place. And yet Lord I struggle and call upon You. I am so thankful You pull me through those time and…. You always do. Thank You Lord for Your love and help. Oh how I need You and appreciate You. Thank You for being with me today and every day.

Thank You Lord.

Amen

Jesus continued, “Humble men are very fortunate!” He said to them, “for the Kingdom of Heaven is given to them.” Matthew 5:3

Thank You Lord for each one of the gifts You give us when we follow Your leading and calling upon our lives. Humility is a beautiful gift. It is with awe we look at a humble person. Somehow they are not even aware of their humility. They are just being who they are because it comes from the inside out. Truly we can understand why You would tell us how fortunate they are because they would have the Kingdom of Heaven given to them. Thank You for the humble people I have had the pleasure of knowing in my life time. Truly I stood in awe in their presence.

Thank You Lord.

Amen.
