The Bible gives some clue to find "8 Blessings" and their requirements.

The beatitudes is a part of The Sermon on the Mount means 8 blessings on MATTHEW 5:1 to 5:12.

 

 

Blessed are,

1. the poor in spirit. Theirs is the kingdom of heaven.  O

2. those who mourn. They shall be comforted.  X

3. the meek. They shall inherit the earth.  O

4. those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. They shall be satisfied.  O

5. the merciful. They shall receive mercy. 

6. the pure in heart. They shall see God. 

7. the peacemakers. They shall be called sons of God. 

8. who are persecuted for righteousness' sake. Theirs is the kingdom of heaven.  X

+. you. When others revile, persecute, utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.  O

→ Check yourself for a while.

     As for me 4 nos of Os, 3 nos of △s, 2 nos of Xs were checked.

     Blessings can be poured out more as far as we aware of them and growing up.

 

Small talk

None of MATTHEW 5:1 to 5:12 words better to be removed.

It breaks through the life long struggles and had to say something on this.

 

1. Poor in spirit.

    I were just a hard worker and did not care about healthiness of spirit with no recognition.

    Lofty self-vision led me up to hard workplace paid every enthusiasm and looked like goes well.

    My old days spirit was dried up and blew away when finally getting uttered by boss like thunderstorm.

    I got frustrated in some situation and it appeared as poor in spirit.

 

2. Mourn. Even in tough situdation I did not cry.

    Systemical and individual hard moments were endured by myself.

    Physically getting better with daily exercise but mentally getting haze.

    Watched some leadership contents and exiting contents on a spare time.

    It was imperfect. Self resolution did not work well and making regrets.

    This was the way I face with difficulties before baptized.

 

3. Meek. Being meek in nice situation is easy.

    But under limited condition, lacking of absolute time period things go hard.

    I scolded on manpower to chase them like the thunderstorm I got or even more.

    I saw already great failure and assured it should not happen again for successful completion.

    It was wrong. The tougher, the meeker better.

    By now, number one behavior principle is being meek.

 

4. Hunger and Thirst. What is righteousness? I regard it easy.

    No alcohol no smoke and yes bible and pray.

    I prefer to sing everlasting songs compared to pop.

    Reading bible is pleased and got insight from sermons.

    Swimming in the bible is appreciated.

    Having every chances to be special is important.

 

5. Merciful. It was lucky for me to meet with really merciful people.

    I remind of some presbyterians and deaconesses.

    They were meek and generous and always mercyful with smile.

    Their talking was full of grace and action was always with love.

    Darely say it looked close to an apprearance of angel.

    I should resemble them, follow them.

 

6. Pure in heart. Half yes half not.

    My life before baptized is longer than after.

    Before baptized,

    I spent my school days exposed to school violence,

    degree days naturally with alcohol,

    work days inevitably with alcohol and time-consuming work.

    After baptized,

    I read the bible, attend sermon service, work without alcohol, live without alcohol.

    Trying to be good but occationally it is not easy but should be.

    Follow mercifulness I pray.

 

7. Peacemakers. Physical touch is prohibited in any regard.

    I have observed some peace broken on others heart under specific condition.

    A guy lost his temper when asked for a detail of handover sheet bothers him.

    An woman got angered on gifticon for a cup of coffee as her birthday present not enough.

    Any country invades others in any reason happens and weapons are overflow.

    Calm down, being meek and merciful and I need to do myself good first.

 

8. Persecuted. This feels like hardest of all.

    Open that I am with christianity will make prejudice on people.

    Do not feel disturbed and focus on it if necessary with independant decision.

    After knowing blessings rejoice and be glad. Your reward is great in heaven.
