Scripture:
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:3 (NIV) Application: Jesus knew how the "poor in spirit" felt. He gave them an assurance: they have a place in His kingdom. People who are depressed need this place. When their worldly surroundings are filled with families, friends, and co-workers gathering together, they easily sink deeper into that feeling of emptiness. Pray for them. Reach out to them. Remind them that they belong to a home, a community, and a family that accepts them just as they are. Welcome them with open arms. Jesus does. Prayer: Dear Father, we all need to know we have a place in Your kingdom. Please fill our empty hearts and lift our sinking spirits. Amen.
