Poor In The Spirit Quotes

“God’s grace is for the empty - the broken,- the ones whose hands are open with nothing to offer but their need. The fullness of God is poured out not to the proud who think they are rich in their own righteousness, but to the soul who comes empty, desperate, and hungry for the bread of life. The Lord does not look for what we have; He desires that we come to Him with nothing, that He might fill us with everything,”

“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.”
