What does poor in spirit mean?
Being poor in Spirit means we are spiritually bankrupt
before God, it is like we have nothing to offer, we are spiritually empty and
before we approach God in faith to receive his grace and salvation as a gift,
we admit to our sins. Let’s see the positive side, “Blest are the poor in
spirit: the reign of God is theirs.” First, be happy that each day we get to
wake up and start all over again and experience Christ in a new way when we
choose to go to him with an empty spirit. We don’t have to wait to go to the
Kingdom of heaven to be happy, we can be happy now in the present, enjoying the
Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
As Paul suggests in Philippians 3: 7-14, We realize
at some point of all the advantages because of Christ Jesus and that nothing
can ever outweigh the major advantage of knowing Jesus Christ our Lord. We have
nothing to lose, we don’t have to reach perfection only the perfection that
comes through faith in Christ. We haven’t won yet; we are all still running the
race to the finish line and the prize to which God calls all of us upwards to
the Kingdom of Heaven.
‘Don’t allow the past to haunt you move forward,
keep running, he runs with us.’
May God Bless Always, Women of Faith and Hope.
