Matthew 5:9
"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.
Be a Peace-Maker. God wants us to get along, just like we want our children to get along. With this concept of cooperating, adults can be as hard to teach as children, ask any Pastor.
This is a great verse for marriage. With God it's not a win-lose. If you seek God, He will show you the win-win. Step back, stop looking at everything emotionally, see the situation through the other persons eyes and you'll find a way to come together on the issue.
'Discover who you really are, and your place in God's family', just the thought Blesses me! Be a Peace-Maker and be Blessed today!!

You are Blessed - VI
Matthew 5:8
"You're blessed when you get your inside world—your mind and heart—put right. Then you can see God in the outside world.
Get our hearts right with God, first, and God will open our eyes, to see, and our ears, to hear. Then we will see God working in our everyday life. Some of us open our hearts. but have a harder time with our minds. Others open their minds, and have a hard time with their hearts. God wants your heart and your mind, so you can fully receive His Love and His Blessings. There is freedom in trusting the Lord.

You are Blessed - V
Matthew 5:7
"You're blessed when you care. At the moment of being 'care-full,' you find yourselves cared for.
God taught me an important lesson a year ago. I watched someone who was irrate and upset, turn completely around when she saw a friend in need, and filled the need. She went from being self-consumed to outreaching; from Victim to Care-giver. It was amazing how the shift was immediate. You can not be the Victim and the Care-giver at the same time. Have you ever been around someone that is so draining that you feel drained from just talking to them? They are focusing on being the Victim and on being negative and can steal someone else's joy for the moment.
Focus on being the Care-giver not the Victim and you will be Blessed!

You are Blessed - IV
Matthew 5:6 "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.
Don't we all just love food, especially when we are hungry? The Word of God is like that! The more we get a taste of His truth the more we want. Begin to stir up a Spiritual hunger and let God fill you up until you're stuffed. The more and more Spiritually full we become, the more we will spill over on to others. Be Blessed, be a Blessing!!

You are Blessed - III
Matthew5:5
"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.
Let's face it we all would like to improve on the things we do. We strive to be more like others everyday. Today let's focus on who we are not what we do. Be content with who you are. We all have strengths and weaknesses. Be careful not to compare yourself to others. We can never measure up to what we think others are. We look at their strengths against our weaknesses when we compare our lives to theirs. Be proud of who you are in Christ and continually grow in the excellence of honesty, integrity, character, forgiveness, kindness, generosity and selflessness. Know that you are at the right level, right now and God will help you grow. True riches can not be bought. You are Blessed!

You are Blessed - II
Matthew 5:4
"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.
This verse is so very real to me . My children are most dear to me and a little over a year ago my baby girl was stillborn at 31 weeks. I could not have survived it emotionally if God had not held me through all of it. Now I can see it as a beautiful thing to have a child born straight into the loving hands of God. Don't be afraid to give God all of your hurts and cares. He is there for you. He loves you. He cherishes you. You are Blessed!

You are Blessed - I
Matthew 5:3
"You're blessed when you're at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule.
How many of us have felt at the end of our rope? Especially when we focus on the world and what it has to offer. Last year has opened our eyes to how engolfed we have become in the world's system. If it fails we fail; but only if we get too dependant. God would have us be debt-free and separated from the world's economy. That way if it fails we remain strong and our faith is not covered in fear. Believe and ask God to show you a way to be debt-free then praise Him and thank Him daily until it manifests in your life and then praise Him some more. God is faithful!
