THE BEATITUDES



The scripture begins when Jesus gathered his disciples on the mountain to teach them of true happiness.

Appreciate simplicity.  Think back on what God has done for you and this will strengthen your faith in the future.  God's promise to us is that He will always be with us.  Our difficulties are only opportunities for God's control.  He will either protect us or give us the strength to get through the most difficult of times.

As Christians, we have the capability to make a difference in the world for the glory of Jesus.  In every situation, ask yourself, "What Would Jesus Do?" Then do it.

Rejoice in the Lord's discipline as well as His blessings.  Remember - we love God because we know He loves us.  God loves us despite who we are.  We need to listen, obey and follow.  Do your best - God will do the rest.

Have compassion for others as they are loved equally by God.  This will make you feel good about yourself knowing that God approves.

Prayer:  Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for all that you have promised and help us to be worthy of your love each and every day.  We so often fail, yet you never ever give up on us. Amen.
