Blessed Are!






Matthew 5:3-12 (New International Version)

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 sons 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. 12.Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

We are truly blessed, aren't we? Every time I read this passage I am always amazed at how much God loves us and what He has done for us. So much love and so much sacrifice on His part. When He created us, He already knew what would happen and had a plan in progress. As we reminisce about this year, and plan for the next year, lets not forget that if we let God be in control of our lives, then we are truly blessed and we can lay claim of these wonderful promises. God Bless you richly today on this Lords Day, enjoy your day in Church and remember to be thankful! Be sure and check out "Spiritual Sunday", these ladies love the Lord and always have words of encouragement.


In Him We are Complete!

Yes these are wonderful scriptures. It seems like the older I get the more emotional I am about how the Lord has blessed my life. How I drove 40 miles to work and home for 15 years without no accidents, how he has blessed my family. I could go on and on. Thank-you for such great scriptures today.
God Bless,
Ginger
