(the post below this is from Sept 29th also, not August 3rd. it only took me 57 days to finish. please read that too, actually, if you were to only read one post in its entirely, please skip this one and read "the proverbs 31 man." thank you. Love, Brendan.)
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they inherit the earth. (The Beasties Boys rhyme this in "Shadrach". even the Beastie Boys use the bible in conversation. So can we.)
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. (BOOYAH!!!!)
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. (yesss)
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. (praying for a pure heart now, well, more earnestly.)
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons (or daughters) of God.
Blessed are those who are persecutes for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
