Blessed ARE… for they SHALL… These words of Jesus from Matthew 5 gave me a huge boost of encouragement at a critical time in my life, when I was desperately crying out to the Lord for answers. I knew I was wrong, somehow, some way… maybe even for just asking Him questions that I should already know the answers to. But I was HUNGRY for righteousness. And when it seemed like the answers weren’t coming, I really began to feel like I was missing it. It was then that He showed me these words, and said “I’m calling you blessed, right now, before you have your answers, because you are hungering and thirsting for righteousness. Just keep it up, for I have promised that you shall be filled!” I had no idea at the time what a work He had yet to do in me, but I hung on to that promise, and spoke it back to Him many, many times… and I can tell you, He kept His promise. I feel like He has filled me to the bursting point, but I’m still hungering for more… and He’s going to keep filling me.If you’re someone hungering like that now, just keep pushing… and don’t hold anything back. Let Him shine the light wherever He wants. He knows. He sees. He hears. He keeps His promises. You ARE blessed, and you SHALL be filled!
