The Beatitudes 1

"Blessed are you when they abuse and persecute you," O' Lord, the trials i do go through; but count me blessed as Thy prophets of old singled out, but in the fold. "Rejoice! and be exceedingly glad," no, i am sane, not truly mad! to smile alive when abuses fly needing patience in sorrows' guise. "For great is your reward in Heaven," Amen, O' Lord, far from the heathen; i just can't wait Lord, for that reward so settle here, as the flames be hot. "For so they persecuted the prophets of old," i am in bliss, not ever sold; Thy words give me courage, making me bold Thy love embrace me, never too cold. So Lord, i treasure Thy words to heart keeping me safe, making me smart; never to mould, never to rut but in His Hands, never to part. Amen! The Beatitudes in Matthew 5, states: "Blessed are you when they abuse and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil falsely against you for My sake; rejoice! and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in Heaven; for so they persecuted the prophets of old before you." Amen!

It's nice to know that God hath forseen all, and hath prepared us to face the tribulations. with His guidance and Mercy we are blessed; and to counted as worthy to suffer as His prophets of old, is indeed a privilege. to God be glory! Amen!
