Jesus's revolutionary definition of 'blessed.'
Those who know they need God are blessed — the kingdom of heaven belongs to them.
Do you approach God with self-sufficiency or with need?
The first step to blessing is admitting you're empty.
Those who grieve are blessed — they will be comforted.
Can grief actually lead to blessing?
God doesn't waste your tears — he redeems them.
Those who are gentle and humble are blessed — they will inherit the earth.
Is meekness weakness or strength under control?
Meekness isn't weakness — it's power under control.
Those who hunger and thirst for what's right are blessed — they will be satisfied.
How hungry are you for righteousness?
God satisfies those who are starving for the right things.
Those who show mercy are blessed — they will receive mercy.
Who needs your mercy today?
Mercy given is mercy received.
