3 “You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule.
4 “You’re blessed when you feel you’ve lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you.
5 “You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are—no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought.
6 “You’re blessed when you’ve worked up a good appetite for God. He’s food and drink in the best meal you’ll ever eat.
7 “You’re blessed when you care. At the moment of being ‘care-full,’ you find yourselves cared for.
8 “You’re blessed when you get your inside world—your mind and heart—put right. Then you can see God in the outside world.
9 “You’re blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That’s when you discover who you really are, and your place in God’s family.
10 “You’re blessed when your commitment to God provokes persecution. The persecution drives you even deeper into God’s kingdom.
I liked what I read here. I have read the "beattitudes" many many times! I read it, and said oh that is nice.... But Reading it differently can open your eyes to something new. Some people dont like the message, but I do because, I think that it can speak to you differently and open your eyes differently than when you memorize it in the KJV. It is a now -a- days' version and I like that at times. I think that God can speak through HIS word no matter what version it is. Read and take in what it says, and let GOD speak to you, even through the message version.
