I’ll keep my mouth shut this morning. I’ll let Jesus tell you how to have a happy weekend. You do want to have a happy weekend, don’t you? Well, read the words from our Savior below, found in Matthew 5:3-11 (Good News Translation). React positively and respond actively. And of course, “Be blessed!”
“Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor; the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them!”
“Happy are those who mourn; God will comfort them!”
“Happy are those who are humble; they will receive what God has promised!”
“Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires; God will satisfy them fully!”
“Happy are those who are merciful to others; God will be merciful to them!”
“Happy are the pure in heart; they will see God!”
“Happy are those who work for peace; God will call them his children!”
“Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires; the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them!” “
“Happy are you when people insult you and persecute you and tell all kinds of evil lies against you because you are my followers.”
“And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me.” (Luke 9:23 NASB)
Still committed to the climb,
Mark L. King
