"We must call ourselves poor, because always in want of God’s grace, always begging at God’s door, always hanging on in his house."

Man this is good stuff. I am discovering commentaries in a whole different way today! There is such a simplicity and depth in the beatitudes which i have previously explored and yet today once again I am socked in the eyes by all I have missed. He gives us the answers. We ask ourselves, What do I want from God, from life? and He gives us how to get it and what to pray. As I said before, if we want to see God, then it is purity we must pray for. If we want to inherit the kingdom, then let us soak ourselves in Him and pray for the gift of total humility. We must be aware of what it is we pray, to pray to be poor in spirit will cost us the world, but Jesus shows us that we will be blessed with the kingdom. Man o man how awesome is that. There is such bread here, I am just going to keep reading until it sinks in. Thankyou Jesus, you are so so incredibly beautiful. Amen x
