Luke 6:21

Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

I love all of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and in each book, I find joy and love in all that which is recorded.  Why? because the LORD is amazingly compassionate and brilliant beyond measure, and although things might seem “bloody” and “tough” to imagine, it happened for reasons that helped shape who we are today, and lends credence to the blueprints of our lives as we know it.

Luke 6:21 expressly reminds us that no matter what kind of issues we’re experiencing in our life, that His light will always outshine the gloominess, and the darkness.  The LORD has a plan for those who follow Him, and you can be certain, that it’s a plan according to our needs, and desires.  And, it’s a plan we can all rejoice in as we go forward in life.

Although all of us at one point in our lives will grieve–we can rest assured that we will get through it by His strength, His love, and our unwavering faith in Him.  Laughter will return after the tears have dried.  Your heart will smile again.  And, you will go on…

Luke 6:21
Blessed are ye that hunger now

This means, not only suffer hunger and thirst in the literal sense,  in our current life, but hunger and thirst in our spiritual sense, hungering after the righteousness and eternal life…(Matthew 5:6) where it’s said, “you shall be filled.”

Blessed are ye that weep now;

This pertains to our afflictions, personal hardships, and pressures of life itself, we mourn for loss, we mourn for sin, but one day…you will laugh, we will  be filled with spiritual joy, and pleasure, and be comforted with the consolations of the Spirit.

Our Father guides us as we inherently adhere to His ways and His will for our life.  As we grow in Spirit, and become closer to the LORD, we are securing our inheritance in His Kingdom for eternity.  And, we aspire to become holier as He commands us to be holy… 1 Peter 1:16 because it is written, “YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY.”

And, being holy is circumspect upon our thoughts, hearts and souls.

So, follow Him.

Love Him.

And, trust Him.

And finally… never say “Never” —  Because God has plans for us —even when we say things like, “Never again…blah blah blah…”  God will say something like…”Oh Yeah!  You want to bet?”  And, just like that…you must answer the call.

I recently said, “Never again.”  I was devastated by a significant and deeply powerful loss… and said, “Never again” And wham!  Eight months after professing adamantly, with strong conviction, “Never again”  God said, “here you go my beloved child…yes you will…”

And I did!

Of course…I can now see that it is according to His plan, according to His will.

So, thank you LORD!

“Dear Father, Lord God,  I promise to truly try my hardest to always obey, follow, and adhere to Your will, as it is always in perfect accordance in what I need, and what is required to fulfill my life here on earth, while staying steadfast in seeking You in all that I do, and  keeping my eye on Your Kingdom, where one day I will be with You for eternity, in Jesus name, Amen.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God‘s will for you in Christ Jesus.
