a poem
You’re blessed when you care. At the moment of being ‘care-full,’ you find yourselves cared for.
by Jesus of Nazareth...
You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more room for faith in God.
You’re blessed when you feel you’ve lost what is most dear to you, may 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. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought.
You’re blessed when you’ve worked up a good appetite for God, who is food and drink in the best meal you’ll ever eat.
You’re blessed when you get your inside world (your mind and heart) put right. Then you can see God in the outside world.
You’re blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That’s when you discover who you really are, and your place in God’s family.
You’re blessed when you are put down, thrown out, or had lies spoken to discredit you. For the truth is close to you and persecution drives you even deeper into God’s kingdom.
All heaven applauds, may you know that you are in good company!
- Beatitudes, a paraphrase from The Message Bible
