Receiving God's Love when you're not feeling 100%...

Ever have one of those days when something in life doesn't go as planned- and you're left feeling like you were served the short end of the stick?

Here's what Jesus Christ in the bible has to say about that- as revealed in his Sermon on the Mount.

(Matthew 5)

He said:

³ “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

⁴ Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.

⁵ Blessed are the meek,
    for they will inherit the earth.

⁶ Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they will be filled.

⁷ Blessed are the merciful,
    for they will be shown mercy.

⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart,
    for they will see God.

⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers,
    for they will be called children of God.

¹⁰ Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

 

¹¹ “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me."

 

 

So,  the next time you are tempted to complain that life is not fair or wallow in self-pity... realize and KNOW deep down- that God knows your heart and hears your cries.  And if you're feeling low, remember these messages that Jesus gave, about God blessing you when you are poor, in mourning, meek, hungry, merciful, pure, peaceful, and when stand up for His name. Hope that lifts you up today, and blesses you! :)
