Blessed [inwardly peaceful, spiritually secure, worthy of respect] are the gentle [the kind-hearted, the sweet-spirited, the self-controlled], for they will inherit the earth.

Matthew 5:5 (AMB)

The world preaches get ahead no matter

what the cost. The world said earthly goods

and possessions pursue at all costs. The world

taught that aggression, self-assertiveness,

retaliation is the way to get ahead. God says

to lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven

where earth and rust do not corrupt. God says

that love and kindness are the Holiest ways.

God says that we are to look out for each other

and love our neighbors as ourselves. God

says, blessed [inwardly peaceful, spiritually

secure, worthy of respect] are the gentle [the

kind-hearted, the sweet-spirited, the self-controlled],

for they will inherit the earth. May we all with

wholeheartedness follow the precious, tried true

redemptive beauty-filled ways of our Triune God.
