Blessed are
not just the winners that society says are blessed. Blessed are not just the
super models. Blessed are not just the rich and powerful who can attract trophy
partners. Blessed are the wrinkled. Blessed are the misshapen. Blessed are
those who never got asked to the prom, who never got asked to dance. Blessed
are the single; blessed are the married. Blessed are the prostitutes, the
addicted, the shamed, and the regretful.
Blessed,
blessed, blessed. Blessed are you, not because you can have every desire
fulfilled, but because you are not your desires. Blessed are you because you
are more than a stomach, a mouth, and a pair of eyes. Blessed are you because
what you really ache for is to be loved by and connected to God, and now Jesus
says that love, that life, that connection is yours if you want it through Him.
Do you want
it?
