What up all... I was reading the beatitudes in Matthew chapter 5 just now.. and I realized that ever since I was little.. I didn't like the beatitudes. 1. because I didn't know what it meant to mourn. Why would those who cry all the time be blessed? I don't know what it means to be poor in spirit... what the heck does that mean? And all the other stuff.. peacemaker.. hunger and thurst for righteousness... persecuted... I thought... dude I only need to make it for one of them. Then I'll be good. I reread it and now I'm like.. oh dang.. I wantto be all of those things. I am not going to settle for second in my walk with God. I have to seek him with everything. I want it all. I want all that God has to offer. I want every one of those beatitudes to be true about me.... including blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness.
