Matthew 5:7-10—“Blessed are the merciful, for they will
receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in
heart for they will see God. Blessed are
the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for
righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
God sees each of us in a way that no other human is capable
of seeing us. He sees our inner
thoughts, He understands our hearts, and He knows what motivates our every
move. As followers of Christ, we are
called to be loving, merciful, pure, and peaceful—because that is the example
Jesus laid out for us. When we follow
God, when we pursue righteousness, there will be times when the world condemns
us, when the world won’t understand our actions. The world’s rejection may hurt us, and it may
cause us to be afraid. But God promises
to bless us with the kingdom of heaven.
He will fill us up and reveal Himself when we pursue Him above all else.
Today as you pray and meditate on His Word, praise God for
loving you enough to know the real you.
Open your heart to Him and ask Him to flood you with His merciful
Spirit. Pray that you would be a
peacemaker in this angry world. Thank
God for His promise to love you and reveal Himself to you.
