POOR IN SPIRIT
Being poor in spirit is the attitude toward ourselves that keeps us aware of our total need of God's grace and mercy. Without this attitude, we have no access to the riches of Christ. With it, we have the fullness of the kingdom of heaven right now.
Heavenly Father, this world has so many things that keep us from having the right attitude about who we are. Help us to keep the mind and attitude of Jesus Christ so that our lives will be examples of your love and mercy. In Jesus' name.
Read Matthew 5:3
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (NIV)
"Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (KJV)
I love to think that my life is a cup. If filled, how am I going to be able to accept the things of God? May it always be empty, ready to be poured in with His love, grace, wisdom, etc...God bless.
