FROM MOURNING TO JOY, FROM NOBODIES TO SOMEBODIES

Luke 6:21 New King James Version
21 Blessed are you who hunger now, For you shall be filled.[a]
Blessed are you who weep now, For you shall laugh.

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVRYBODY!!!
Something about not just this morning’s scripture, but also what I read out of this morning's devotional, really encouraged my heart, because as much as I know the sermon on the mount, in particular the beatitudes here, I didn't realize the type of poetic beauty that was behind them, and how impactful it is. I also didn't realize that as Kenneth Petersen, this morning's devotional writer stated, on how Jesus used paradoxes quite a bit, and even in this passage of scripture, especially after the umpteenth time of reading the beatitudes, I am seeing that and how beautiful it is. That like an oxymoron, words used in contradiction to themselves, show a really unique beauty, a unique joy in the midst of insanity, and that's something I have been learning about lately, and I thank God for it. I think that's why I very much appreciate these questions from this morning's devotional, and I'd like to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions carefully, and I pray that God will speak to your heart through them.

What statement in the Beatitudes (Matthew 5) do you most identify with?

How does it relate to your life experience?

Tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things that God showed me from this morning scripture on what it means to go from mourning to joy, from a nobody to a somebody in Christ, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you will encourage you to see the paradoxes, the oxymorons, and how in Christ you are as someone in Him. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn this precious truth for yourself! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I pray that whatever situation you are going through, whatever opposition, strife, toxic situation, grief and/or pain you are experiencing right now, to know that the One who owns a cattle on 1000 hills, will provide for, sustain, give you mercy, honor your humility, and comfort you in any form of grief that you are going through, cherishes and loves you unconditionally, but most of all doesn't see you as a nobody. You are a somebody in His eyes, and that will never change. That when you feel like everything is against you, when you've lost everything, and that no one is there for you, God will always be there for you, because He through his son Jesus, bore that beautiful visual paradox a crown of thorns, suffering on a rugged, nasty, and ugly cross for you to make you that somebody, and just know that whatever you are going through, whatever loss you have experienced, God will turn that into joy and victory.

UNTIL MONDAY:

HAVE A VERY SWEET AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
