‘BLESSED’ ~ means to be: ‘CONGRATULATED’!
“CONGRATULATIONS!” *

Congratulations to
~ the ‘poor in spirit’ ~
who ‘mourn’ over their deep sin,
Recognizing
~ oh, how grievous !
it has ‘really’ been.
‘Humble’ & ‘meek’
~ yet never weak ~
they REPENT in earnest contrition,
Thus creating
~ a ‘hunger & thirst’ ~
& a heart with ‘true’ submission.
Congratulations to
~ the ‘merciful’ ~
for they, too, will receive,
Becoming
~ ‘pure’ in heart ~
as they ‘DO’ believe.
‘Peacemakers’ are
~ to be ‘congratulated’ ~
making PEACE among the Brethren,
‘Persecuted’
~ for ‘Righteousness’ sake ~
ridding their ‘Souls’ of leaven.
‘Salt’ & ‘Seasoning’
~ powerful over corruption ~
‘living’ for our Lord,
‘Useful’ & ‘flowing’
~ always going ~
‘forward’ with God’s Sword.
Lighting each Path
~ we take for our JESUS ~
following Him every day,
Dispelling the ‘darkness’ *
~ in front of us ~
as we walk ‘His’ Way!
* Mt.5:1-16; Jn.8:12. 12/31/2000
GOD IS OUR ‘REFUGE’ ~ A VERY ‘PRESENT’ HELP IN TIME OF NEED!
(See Ps.46:1)
