THE ATTITUDES IN THE BEATITUDES
Or the B-Attitudes, for they are all Blessed
(Based on Matthew 5, Luke 6+)
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn;
They will laugh once again.
Blessed are the meek --
Those with a quiet spirit.
They will inherit the earth,
And everything that's in it.
Blessed are those who seek righteousness;
A great hunger and thirst they show.
They will be spiritually filled;
Their cups will overflow.
Blessed are the merciful,
For they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
For God will see them as worthy.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they will be called children of God.
Their Father will bless and keep them,
No matter where they have trod.
Blessed are those who are persecuted,
Because of their righteousness,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven,
Where God watches over us.
“Blessed are those insulted and persecuted,
And evil words against them are poured.
If those wicked words are because of Me.
Rejoice, for heaven is your reward.
