At The Foundation Of Christ's Kingdom Is The Poor In Spirit

Blessed are you, says Jesus of Nazarath. Blessed are the poor in Spirit, because they will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. For those who have the character of Christ formed in them, they are influencial to those around them. The mystery is this, they don't have the least idea of the influence they show. Take the woman who takes care of the alter in the church. She is faithful in her duty, but is never recognized, save from Jesus, of her labor. Take the bus driver who is responsibile for our safety. Nobody rewards him for his lovingkindness. The single parent who is both a father and a mother to her children and her children's children. This is the love of Christ formed in Christ's elect. If ever you feel neglected for your faithfulness, take heart, because blessed are you says Christ.

Daily Prayer: Lord Jesus, blessed are You. Blessed are You who never had a place to lay His head. Blessed are You who were rejected by His own people. Blessed are You for going to the cross so that those who revile You might live. Blessed are You for being the Good Shepherd. Amen.
