Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying: Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.     Matthew 5:2-3

 

Wouldn’t it be awesome to get a glimpse of Heaven?  Just seeing the beauty and experiencing the feelings and emotions of this heavenly place would be enough to sustain you for the rest of your life. Well, you can experience it right now in “The Beatitudes” found in Matthew 5:1-12.

 

What better source of understanding than hearing the words of Jesus Christ who expressed the blessings of knowing Him and experiencing heaven. Take a few minutes to read the beatitudes, you most certainly will relate to one or several of these encouraging passages.

 

This life on earth is just a second in comparison to the eternal life you will experience upon death. All the struggles you faced, the times of deep sadness, the times when you were at your lowest point and times when you needed God’s mercy, all will be rewarded with the goodness of God’s blessings. I encourage you when life seems difficult and desperate times call for God’s help, glimpse back over the beatitudes for encouragement and you’ll find that your tears will be wiped from your eyes (Revelation 21:4). God bless!
