Beautified with salvation

I'm thinking about Matthew 5 today. "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great' for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."

Heidi Baker writes so incredibly about the "beatitudes" in her book Compelled by Love. Get it if you're looking for a good summer read!

We have so much to learn from the poor, the hurting, the low ones of the world. I love to be with them.

Psalms says that God will beautify the afflicted ones with salvation.

I took all of these photos in Africa...

Reach your world.
