So when youre very aware of your neediness ( your lack of power, weak spirit, pull of your flesh or human will) rejoice! This is what being poor in spirit is all about. The world is very excited about doing things without Gods help . However, this is not the way of Gods kingdom. I want My children to recognize and rejoice in their great dependence & need of Me. You have been saved by grace ( Gods blessing & favor which we do not deserve) through faith. Both grace and faith are gifts! Your part is to use these glorious gifts. The best response is gratitude-a heart overflowing with thankfulness for all I have done. You are exceedingly blessed because the kingdom of heaven is yours. When the strain of living in this fallen world is getting you down, resist the temptation to feel sorry for yourself. Instead, say to yourself, I am blessed and thankful-and on my way to Glory! Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. -Matthew 5:3 nkjv For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. -Ephesians 2:8 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! -2 Corinthians 9:15 You will guide me with Your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. -Psalm 73:24 n
