“Blessed are…” – Matthew 5:3a
If you are trusting Jesus, you are blessed whether you feel like it or not. The Bible doesn’t say you possibly are blessed, probably are blessed or periodically are blessed; it says you ARE blessed. Period. This is a continual certainty for those who are following Jesus in faith. There is no reason to feel shame for your yesterday because you are blessed with His pardon. There is no reason to feel discontent with your today because you are blessed with His presence. There is no reason to feel afraid of your tomorrow because you are blessed with His promises. His mercy is yours. His satisfaction is yours. His kingdom is yours. All because you are His.
