THE BEATITUDES – Matthew 5:3-10
The Beatitudes are Divine guidelines
Developing good citizens of worth
But God intended much more focus
Allowing the Holy Spirit to work.
New discoveries unveiled by the Spirit
Reveal God’s Word through the Father’s Eyes.
Spiritual insight flourishes with interest
While self-satisfaction flounders and dies.
Poverty, mourning and blessings
Take on an entirely fresh point of view
As the Spirit whispers God’s teachings
Beatitudes are now personalized for you.
Hold on. Read again. Think of Jesus.
Stop short. Take a look at the Cross.
The Beatitudes bathed by the Spirit
Crystallize God’s Truth that was lost.
Surrender. Slow down. Get the picture.
The Beatitudes are attitudes from Him.
Hold close to the Spirit, dear Pilgrim.
Preconceived notions will gradually dim.
Be refreshed. Be refilled. Find renewal.
Walk daily in Godly obedience with love.
The Beatitudes are more than God’s blessings.
They are life lessons from your Father above.
