“When Jesus says, "Blessed are the poor in spirit," He does not mean everyone. He means those who feel it- who understand it. Blessed - approved by God - are the people who keenly feel their inadequacies, helplessness, unworthiness, and emptiness. They do not hide these things under self-sufficiency but are honest about them, grieved by them, and driven to seek and put total dependence on the grace of God.” — Prasanth Jonathan
When Jesus says, "Blessed are the poor in spirit," He does not
mean everyone. He means those who feel it- who understand it.
Blessed - approved by God - are the people who keenly feel their
inadequacies, helplessness, unworthiness, and emptiness. They do not hide these things under self-sufficiency but are honest about them, grieved by them, and driven to seek and put total dependence on the
grace of God.
