Dare I Trust

What does it mean To be poor in spirit, To be the first Of the “blessed” Named by the Savior? Does it mean He knows I am helpless And empty, Broken so many times That not a drop Of my self Remains in this vessel? Does it mean He knows I am destitute, Holding nothing But bewilderment And anguish At what his design Was meant to accomplish? Dare I trust To let go of the anger In order to be healed? Dare I trust This broken, empty person Will be filled; That the child Deep inside me Will receive God’s mercy? Dare I trust That if I reach out And take the hand Of God It will be open With the gift of His kingdom For me; That my pride And arrogance Will be forgiven? Dare I trust That God will approve Of all I am releasing In order To become His child? Dare I trust That God will approve Of me? Jesus says “Blessed Are the poor in spirit”. Dare I trust He says this To me? (poor, from Middle English poure, from Old French povre, from Latin pau, variant for pu, puer from Greek pais meaning “child”) (spirit, from Middle English, from Old French espirit, from Latin spiritus, spirare, from Greek g(w)hre meaning “to breathe”)
