#blessed 02

Jesus actually taught on how to be #blessed.
Sitting on a hill and speaking to anyone curious enough to listen. Little by little, sentence by sentence, step by step He paints a clear pattern and picture for us today.

"Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted."
Matthew 5:4 niv

Maybe I am a little simplistic with this one but I don't care!
Here the deal, in fact it seems to me to be a promise...
When you face the worst moments of your life, God promises to be the very best of comfort to you.
That is the simple part.

If you are mourning any form of loss right now can I encourage you to do a few things?
1. Come to God, your Father in Heaven.
Tell Him your struggles. He will respond to you very quickly!
2. Ask the Holy Spirit to come and help you.
His name translated from original texts actually means comforter or the one called alongside.
He is ready and waiting.
3. Trust that God is sending people and angels your way.
Be patient with yourself as your grieve, there is no panic to move past your grief. Let God send people to help and angels (the Bible calls them ministering spirits).

You will be comforted...so much so that it will feel like you are #blessed.
