BEATITUDES
= beautiful attitudes by B.D.
“Blessed are the
poor in spirit,
For theirs is the kingdom of
heaven.
But
the proud and evil
Spread menace about like leaven.
They shall be comforted and blessed
Who
mourn their loss or sin
But
woe to those who don’t acknowledge
The
awful plight they’re in.
Blessed are the
meek,
For they shall inherit the earth.
But
those who scoff at God’s commands
Will surely
die in their mirth.
Blessed are those
who thirst for righteousness,
For they shall be filled.
But
those who thirst for this world’s love
From
this world will be thrilled.
Blessed are the
merciful,
For mercy they’ll obtain.
But
The merciless and unforgiving
God’s
condemnation is their gain.
They
shall see God
Whose
heart is pure indeed
But
those live for self alone
Cannot
, will not, succeed.
Blessed are the
peacemakers
For
they’re children of God,
But
those who walk in anger
Fall on the path they’ve trod.
Blessed are those
persecuted for righteousness’ sake’,
They’ll find themselves in heaven,
While others regret their mistake.
When you suffer for My sake,
rejoice
Your
reward is very great
But the enemies of God must fear
And meet their awful fate !
