God did this by allowing us to benefit from Christ redemption and resurrection.  If you know Christ as far as it concern the forgiveness of your sin, you are already heirs of every possible spiritual blessing now and through eternity Amen. Lord God bless the readers of this message open their hearts and minds so that they may understand more about your blessings to your people, In Jesus name Amen!

4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted (Matt 5:4)

Mourning could be for the loss of a love one causing you to experience  feeling of great spiritual sorrow. This type of mourning needs the comforting that only God can give. Those who are broken from the ills of life can contribute to this type of mourning, along with sorrow for sin one has committed, together can cause a person to be poor in spirit and mourn for themselves and their hopeless condition. those that are poor in spirit has come to a intellectual acknowledgement of their condition and mourning is the emotional response to that condition. The second blessed attitude is the compliment of the first blessing Jesus stated in Matt 5:3 referring to the poor in Spirit.

Some people think that our spiritual life in only based on  intellectual convictions, however it is a combination emotional and intellectual.  The intellectual causes the emotional, and that causes the mourning in which God blesses us with comfort that only He can give. The comfort that we receive in this life is temporal but, the day is coming when God will wipe the tears away from our eyes and there will be no more death (Rev 21-4).

Are you concerned about your life? Are you disappointed in your accomplishments or lack there of?  Do you feel sorry for your sins? Are you worried about what is going to happen to you ? Do you feel like if you had the opportunity and if it were possible you would undo all you have done? God want to help you. He has made provisions for you. God has provided His Son to pay your penalty, and not yours only, but for the whole world. All you have to do is believe that God sent his Son to die in your place, and you will be saved. You may not understand why God would do this for you and me. The answer is simple, However it is not a requirement for you to understand, only that you believe. However I would like to offer up this answer, God love you.

                                        Friendship with God

“Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing …?” (Genesis 18:17).

The Delights of His Friendship. Genesis 18 brings out the delight of true friendship with God, as compared with simply feeling His presence occasionally in prayer. This friendship means being so intimately in touch with God that you never even need to ask Him to show you His will. It is evidence of a level of intimacy which confirms that you are nearing the final stage of your discipline in the life of faith. When you have a right-standing relationship with God, you have a life of freedom, liberty, and delight; you are God’s will. And all of your commonsense decisions are actually His will for you, unless you sense a feeling of restraint brought on by a check in your spirit. You are free to make decisions in the light of a perfect and delightful friendship with God, knowing that if your decisions are wrong He will lovingly produce that sense of restraint. Once he does, you must stop immediately.https://fromtimetoeternity.com/daily-devotion-67/
