Bloom where you're planted...The work of Jesus and his Holy Spirit is to touch us more deeply than do dreams. When we discover that God lives in us and carries us, our dreams can disappear without leaving us depressed. We are held by the gift of faith and hope, that fine thread which binds us to God. Jean Vanier
Matthew 5:1-12
The Divine Life is for those who die to the demands of the ego.
Such people will inhabit the Kingdom of Heaven.
The Divine Life is for those who have lived through tragedy and suffering. Such people will be comforted at a deep level.
The Divine Life is for those who bring their passions under control for goodness. It is such people that will inherit the earth.
The Divine Life is for those who hunger and thirst for justice.
Such people will be fed to the full.
The Divine Life is offered to those who are gracious and merciful.
Such people will be treated in a merciful and gracious manner.
The Divine Life is offered to those whose Home is clean on the inside. Such people will know the very presence of God and see his face.
The Divine Life is offered to those who are Makers and Creators of Peace. Such people will be called the children of God.
The Divine Life is known by those who are persecuted for seeking Justice. Such people will know what it means to live in the Kingdom of Heaven.
The Divine Life is known by those who are mistreated and misunderstood in their passion for justice. They will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. The prophets were treated this way in the past. (Ron Dart)
