#Blessed FRIDAY, MARCH 25
Good Enough, 122-128. Matthew 5:1-12
How do you think culture defines “blessing” or being “blessed”? How do you define it? Based on this passage in Matthew 5:1-12, how does Jesus define it?
“The world looks a bit strange from here, upside down. But maybe it’s how it’s supposed to be; our feet rooted in heaven” (Good Enough, 124). In the Matthew reading, how is Jesus calling us to embrace the upside-down kingdom?
Write a blessing using your own name and the specifics that you are dealing with.
Blessed am I, [Your Name], when....
God, I can’t do this alone. Come into these hard places and be with me, bless me, that I might find a way through, that there might be comfort and even some love and peace in the midst of it. Enough maybe, to be a blessing to others.
Amen.
Blessed am I, Gail, when I feel the new pressures of work. I am a beloved child of God.
