Blessed are the kingdom beggars

Blessed are the poor (beggarly, destitute, helpless, lacking in power) in spirit.

What a rich picture this is! Me, having nothing. Helpless. Asking. Crouching down, asking for alms of the richest King in the world.

And He, seeing, smiles and calls it very good [happy, to be envied].

I cannot express what joy this conveys to my heart. My weakness, my helplessness, my inability to effect change and healing…. This is the very thing that the King blesses, and calls good. AND. And, He says that to this beggardlyness, He WILL give the kingdom of heaven, the right to reign over His domain and to use His authority upon earth.
