Lenten Devotion Day 27
HAPPY
Those who want to do right more than anything else are happy, because God will fully satisfy them.
Matthew 5:6
What does it mean to be happy?
For my puppy it only takes some baseballs and she is happy as can be...but then again she is happy eating cat poo out of yard so I don't consider her a great witness on the subject.
What does it mean to be happy?
“Happy are people who are hopeless, because the kingdom of heaven is theirs.
“Happy are people who grieve, because they will be made glad.
“Happy are people who are humble, because they will inherit the earth.
“Happy are people who are hungry and thirsty for righteousness,
because they will be fed until they are full.
“Happy are people who show mercy, because they will receive mercy.
“Happy are people who have pure hearts, because they will see God.
“Happy are people who make peace, because they will be called God's children.
“Happy are people whose lives are harassed because they are righteous,
because the kingdom of heaven is theirs.
“Happy are you when people insult you and harass you and speak
all kinds of bad and false things about you, all because of me.
Be full of joy and be glad, because you have a great reward in heaven. In the same way, people harassed the prophets who came before you.
Matthew 5:3-12
It means even in
hopeless, sorrowful, humble, starving, compassionate, heartfelt, chaotic, harassed, bullied living -
God is with you.
HAPPY
