Beattitudes

What do I learn about Jesus and what He wants from me from this chapter.

"The (his) mouth speaks form that which fills the (his) heart." v. 45
He wants us to show with our actions that which we love, Him. You don't do things for the poor to receive something back, but you do it for love of Christ and expect - and not even accept - anything in return. He wants us to give to our enemies the shirt off our back.

"Lend, expecting nothing in return...for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful to you." v. 35-36

God does not want us to judge or condemn; He wants us to pardon as we have been pardoned. He doesn't care about money but wants to reward us one day in Heaven. He wants us to laugh; He wants us to fine joy in all things. He wants us to find strength in prayer just as He did.

Have you ever seen a picture of Jesus laughing?
