"Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:3
Don't pretend that you don't know what Jesus is talking about. I know you've done it, because I have, but I've also had those times when I have been poor in spirit, haven't you?
You may be in one of those moments right now, one where you are doubting God's love or maybe one where you may even be doubting God's existence. Let me be the one to let you know that it doesn't make God angry, God's not going to throw a lighting bolt down on you, God's not even going to disown you.
I can say this with certainty because of what Jesus said just north of my writing. The poor in spirit own the kingdom. The rich man has no concern for his next meal, but the single mom waiting for food stamps does. In the same way the spiritually full person doesn't understand their need, but those of us in spiritual poverty get it. And if we get it, we can receive it.
+ What caused you time(s) of spiritual poverty?
+ How has God shown himself to you in previous times?
