This trouble won’t last always!

Blessed Are the Poor in Spirit

This collage looks at who will benefit from or be especially blessed in God’s New World of Equity… All people will rise and be lifted up, but some of the people scripture mentions in particular are those described in Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount (in The Beatitudes).

Here I focus on “the poor in spirit.” (Matthew 5:3). People whose spirit may be low or “blue”; maybe they’re sad or depressed… They might feel bad for any number of reasons, but among them might be being mistreated, oppressed, or discounted because of systemic racism and other “isms,” our U.S. caste system, corporate greed, etc.

The hope of a New World of Equity is that those who are “poor in spirit” would be revived and revitalized! The message is “This trouble won’t last always!” Especially as we work together in unity to bring about a new world of justice, fairness, and equity–without racism, and dedicated to honoring, respecting, and blessing ALL PEOPLE. We CAN overcome! ❤️💜
