Dearly Beloved,
Grace and Peace to you.
* Blessed are the poor in
spirit... *—Matthew 5.3
Jesus refutes the delusion
that attributes blessing
to the happy, the successful, the strong.
The poor know better.
They're not blessed because they're poor,
or heartbroken, or persecuted.
They're blessed because God blesses them,
no matter what.
Your security, your privilege, your comfort,
your accomplishments, all your merit
are costumes you wear.
Underneath you are naked and needy.
If you wear them
know they are borrowed,
if you are stripped of them
know you are blessed.
All of us
are God's beloved,
no more than that,
no less.
Deep Blessings,
Steve
