Blessed Are Ye...

Alot of times we feel hopeless when we are hurt by others. We feel there is no recourse for what has happened to us..We feel like we can't get back up and try again...We feel like our labours of love were in vain... But even though we feel this way... God's Word declares the opposite.
In the Holy Bible, the book of St. Luke, Chapter 6, starting with verse 20 it states..."And he lifted up his (Jesus) eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets." So we see here that there is a blessing to be received through our suffering, lack, persecution etc. for righteousness sake. We are not to stay down because we have been knocked down...but Jesus actually tells us to rejoice because your reward shall be great. I do not know who God is speaking to today, but your poverty shall be turned into riches, your chaotic situation into peace, your weeping into laughter, your shame into glory, and your hunger shall be filled.

In Jesus Name Be Healed and Blessed!
