For the Poor in Spirit

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. —Matthew 5:3
Scripture reading:
Psalm 37:3–24

I must recognize the difference between my own spirit and the Holy Spirit. My own spirit can do certain things on natural lines—it can even weep and pray and worship—but it is all on a human plane. We must not depend on our own human thoughts and activities or on our personalities. If the baptism means anything to you, it should bring you to the death of the ordinary, where you are no longer putting faith in your own understanding but, conscious of your own poverty, you are ever yielded to the Spirit. Then it is that your body becomes filled with heaven on earth. Amen

Blessings
