Luke 6:20–26
Jesus looked up at his disciples and said:
Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you
who are hungry now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for
you will laugh."Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they
exclude you, revile you, and defame you on account of the Son of Man. Rejoice
on that day and leap for joy, for surely your reward is great in heaven; for
that is what their ancestors did to the prophets. But woe to you who are rich,
for you have received your consolation."Woe to you who are full now, for
you will be hungry. Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and
weep. Woe to you when all speak well of you, for that is what their ancestors
did to the false prophets.’
Reflection
Does God ask me to seek out discomfort or wants
me to realize that God always holds a brighter promise for me?
How does God call me further when I find
God where I am?
