As The Lord Loves Me.......

“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."......

Matthew Chapter 5:3

I often read this verse, but was never sure exactly what it meant. What does it mean to be poor in spirit?

It is the state that you are in before you meet and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

You had everything that you needed, so you thought.....You were rich or well off, you had a house, a car, a family, money in the bank and you had the admiration and the esteem of the people in your community. But deep inside, all you felt was emptiness....

Or......

You were poor and your family was poor.....You barely had a roof over your head, and there was meager food on the table, and not a lot of clothes in your closet, and you worked hard for everything that you had. And you knew that there was something missing from your life, and it wasn't more money.......

You see, regardless of whether you have a lot of money or very little money, the answer is always, Jesus Christ!

Nothing in the world can replace the grace, the power, and the authority of Jesus in your life, and there are people right now wondering why they are not satisfied with their lives. It is because there are poor in spirit.

But they can be comforted, because Jesus said 'Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven'...

When you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you become a citizen of the Kingdom of God. and that means you have all the benefits that come with being a child of God: peace, joy, Grace, love, comfort, power and authority, and, yes, satisfaction......

If you would only believe in Him and serve Him, you too would know real satisfation!......
