Oct 27.99: Light For The Day - "Blessed Are The Poor In spirit"

"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
-- Matthew 5:3 (RSV)
--------------------

Bring me to see that what I have is there
to be shared.
Bring me to see that what I have is not
the last word in life.
Bring me to see that ultimately my security, 
my peace of mind depends not on my talents,
not on my achievements, not on the status
that goes with these, but on knowing that all
that I have gains its meaning from you.

To know this , LORD, is to know both poverty
and riches.

-- Rex Chapman

"Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they shall see God."
-- Matthew 5:8 (RSV)
