"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
-Matthew 5:3
We are all poor in spirit sometime or another. Spiritual poverty is something that can overtake even the strongest of faith in a period of deep loss. No one asks to have something taken away from him/her; loss is a brutal tyrant that enters without permission and pillages without mercy. My heart is broken today for those whose stable happiness has been devastated as a coast land in the midst of a hurricane. I know what that feels like, and I also know the fullness of overwhelming satisfaction.
My prayer tonight, more than anything, Lord, is for you to mend the broken hearts out there. For those grieving people or lifestyles lost, please guide them in your mercy and show them your immobile love for them. I wish I had the power to heal broken hearts, but I don't and I believe, Lord, that you do. Your kingdom is theirs for the taking. Amen.
