May 15 Bible Verse

I know it is quite a bit passed May 15, but things were a little busy on the 15th. Meredith and her finance, Matt, were graduating from Mercer. We were there for graduation. I will post about that in another post.

I am continuing on with the Beautitudes this time. I am adding the next three.

Matthew 5: 7-9, TNIV

Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called the children of God.

And now from the Message, which gives you something to really think about these very familiar verses:

You're blessed when you care. At the moment of being 'care-full' you will find yourselves cared for.

You're blessed when you get your inside world-your mind and heart-put right. Then you can see God in the outside world.

You're blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That's when you discover who you really are, and your place in God's family.
