Bible Verse of The Day – 7-22-21

Matthew 5:3 (NKJV) 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Who are the poor in spirit?

It is those who recognize their spiritual poverty, understanding their need for Christ. When this happens, we will put aside all self-dependence and earnestly seek God’s grace and mercy.

This is what salvation is all about.

We don’t just speak it with our mouth and then move on. We receive His guidance and teaching throughout our life. We completely put our trust in Him!

It is a day-to-day walk and relationship with Him.

It is not to be taking lightly, but in being thankful for the blessing that He has given to us as we acknowledge Jesus Christ as our Savior. Our spirit unites with Him and we become ONE.

In everything we do, He is with us. And He will guide us daily if we let Him.

After I got saved as a young girl, I was walking down the road, talking to my girlfriend. I was so excited and happy, I can’t even explain the joy I had in me.

Because she was my friend, I wanted to share my experience with her, with the hope she would do the same.

But it didn’t happen that way. She did not get excited, and really didn’t care much about what had happened to me.

She actually remarked with words that I would soon find out that many use. “Oh, your one of those churchy people?”

I think that was the first time I experienced rejection because of my faith. It made me sad to think that my friend had no interest in this amazing and life-changing decision.

I hurt for her.

Why would someone not want such a beautiful blessing?

We will experience this in our walk at times. We can’t let it get us down. Just keep on pressing in. And if God leads you to do so, keep sharing.

Some will jump at it and some will mock it and tear it down.

Either way, we are blessed children of God! For ours is the kingdom of heaven!

Keep shining, knowing that we are blessed! Amen.
