How Blessed We Are!!!

Have you ever thought about how blessed you are? If you are reading this you are blessed! If you have food to eat and a bed at night you are blessed! If you have parents who love you you are blessed!
Too often we look to the difficulties of our life instead of focusing on all our blessings! We should be walking around saying we are blessed! When people ask us how we are doing we should say we are blessed! We are blessed people!

Here is a passage of Matthew 5 that really helps me when I feel I am not blessed! Our reward is in heaven!

Matthew 5


1Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2and he began to teach them saying:
3"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
