Matthew 5:3 (KJV)
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
What does it mean to be "poor in spirit"? Here is one definition:
1. Poor in Spirit: A deep recognition of ones total depravity and emptiness without God. This person totally recognizes how unworthy they are of Gods Grace.
This picture reminds me that God is present even when we feel lonely and despondent.
Hmmm ... I just looked up "despondent" in the dictionary and it says:
"In low spirits from loss of hope or courage."
So when we are not feeling "on top of the world" we can be assured that the kingdom of heaven is ours. Thanks be to God.
