Beatitude is Attitude!

During these hot humid days of summer, drink deeply of the beatitudes.

Beatitudes are a cool drink of water for those who have a bad taste in their mouths from all the wicked, evil ways of the world, and are longing for something better for something that brings true refreshment and satisfaction instead of leaving us dry.

Jesus takes what the world calls "blessed" and turns it completely upside down. In the process, He gives special honor to those who are despised and hated by the world, and shows us all where true joy and happiness in life comes from!

God has always wanted to fill us with good things that come with faith in Jesus Christ, our Savior, who is more than willing to forgive us, cleanse us, and make us new from within a new heart, a new mind, a new life!

The Beatitudes are like a cup of refreshing water to us, it is because they reflect so well the cross of Christ. Jesus is rich with all the wealth of heaven, but He became poor for us. Jesus was strong...but He became weak for us. Jesus was worthy of all honor...but He subjected Himself to ridicule and mockery for us. He was the source of every blessing...but He endured the harsh curse for us.

Beatitude is certainly attitude!
