Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep
now, for
you will laugh.
These verses are part of The Beatitudes in the
New Testament.
God’s ways are never like ours. We think it detrimental to our good lives to
be without, to suffer hunger, and to mourn.
In fact, we avoid being in need at all costs. We strive to have more than enough, to fill
our homes and tables, and to enjoy our life and be happy. But we all know that amassing “stuff” doesn’t
make one satisfied.
However, these verses indicate God’s ways. Being poor in spirit, having an ache of
hunger, and even weeping at times, only results in good things – lasting satisfaction,
the kingdom of God, and hilarious joy that brings laughter from the belly.
Are you in need right now? God is present in the middle of your hunger
and blessings are yours…he said so.
Weeping only lasts for a season. Laughter is like a medicine that heals for a
lifetime.
