Matthew 5:3
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

馬太福音  5:3 虛心的人有福了．因為天國是他們的。

 

Dear all, morning!!!

 

I've had such crazy, exhausted but fulfilling weekend....Flag day...Sin study...Sunday....Singing....D-group....Movie...BBQ, lots of fellowship......Amen! I am still alive!!!

 

I felt so moved and touched seeing how the whole BT (with awesome pair-up brothers) love each other deeply including their Friends, and I am seeing how Cat and Eric enjoyed being with us and felt the love of God.

 

Matt 5:3 is one of my favourite scripture as it reminds me always to listen to my heart and always ask myself the same question"am I humble enough to listen to others?" . We all don't want to be poor but God asks us to be the poor in spirit, God asks us to empty our heart, self-denial and pull out our heart to fill up God's words.

 

Also, James 4:10 -  Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. and 1 Peter 5:5-9 - Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."

 

And most importantly God Is Gracious to the Humble - James says, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." (4:6) Solomon said, "A man's pride brings him low, but a man of lowly spirit gains honor." (Proverbs 29:23 ) The psalmist writes, "You save the humble but bring low those whose eyes are haughty." (Psalms 18:27)

 

I was also talking to Eric about the same topic last night. It's a very good and deep talk with him and I can really see Eric's humility and he's really trying his best to seek God, Brothers I am so proud of you as you guys have done such a great job to love him.

 

Let's all be the POOR in spirit and God would bless us abundantly!!!

 

Love you all!
