Matthew 5:1-16 KJV
1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

We are blessed as children of God. Our blessing do not always come in material wealth or money. It comes with spiritual truth of God's word. It comes with the enlightenment of spiritual truth. One's heart speaks revenge and our words speak mercy. Is our brain inline hoping to melt heart of revenge to feel merciful in obedience to God's word in one's humanity. To obey God is eternal reward, but this is before the cross so how one was taught that one should live was not condition but command of God. As we walk as believers we learn others are not as judgmental, because simply they been there done that or situation warrant it. To teach mercy is to think or experience the worse trangression against yourself. Can you forgive your enemies and those that persecute you, can you show them mercy in your personal storm. Sometimes we have to remove our ownselves from a situation to heal by God's word and other times the Holy Spirit draws that line that can not be broken by the enemies power. You know your a king's kid when that happens. God protects us in many storms of faith sometimes unbeknown to us the real danger of the situation.

God blessing from each lesson teaches mercy and grace we can not have without faith. Without righteous and mercy that causes God's mercy to be first extended to the believer like Abraham, King Abilemech, Noah and many more including women.

We need to rejoice because of each lesson of faith as we learn to triumph through God's grace. Rejoice because you are the salt of the earth a testimony of the work of God in our lives. Let light of God shine in our hearts so other see the testimony of faith in us through our good works and praise God.

Dear Heavenly Father give us grace that the testimony of our works cause others to praise you. May each blessing come with knowledge of your mercy and grace In Jesus precious name, Amen.

30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:
31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
