[b]Alan Redpath on Kingdom Living based on Beatitudes Matt. 5[/b]Happy (Blessed) are the poor in spiritorBetter to be humble than self-confident Happy are those that mournorBetter to be sensitive, than thick skinned Happy are the meekor Better to be gentle than push yourself Happy are those that hunger and thirst after righteousnessorBetter to be ambitious for goodness than promotion Happy are the mercifulorBetter to be kind to the needy than cultivate the rich Happy are the pure in heartorBetter to be open and honest than pull strings to get things done the way you want them Happy are the peacemakersorBetter to calm things down than stand up for your own point of view Happy are those who are persecuted for righteousness sakeHappy are you when men revile you, persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my accountorBetter to be an underdog than fight the system (The mark of greatness in a Christian is the ability to forgive)
