If we confess our sins, he is faithful to forgive us our sins, and to cleanses us from all unrighteousness. This is not a one time thing. It is ongoing in, not only asking God to forgive us, but also forgiving others. How beautiful a picture of Love. It sounds easy enough, but in reality, it is not always easy for me. Father, forgive me when I am holding on to something, I need to let go of.

The words that come out of our mouths, reflect what is in our hearts. God has given us a most powerful tool for good and not evil. It is a tremendous responsibility. We have the opportunity to point people towards the gates of heaven, or the treeible reality, that we may have directed someone toward an eternity in hell. Father, forgive us when we do not speak your good news.

Great and mighty, are your works Oh Lord. It is you who hold all things together. It is you who created the foundations of the earth. It is you who hold the stars in place and keep the oceans from covering the whole earth. Most wonderful, is that you love us, in spite of our imperfect ways, yet Jesus made us whole. You call us adopted sons and daughters. In all these troubled times, we are truly blessed.

Taken from the John MacArthur Study Bible

Blessed. The word lit. means “happy, fortunate, blissful.” Here it speaks of more than a surface emotion. Jesus was describing the divinely-bestowed well-being that belongs only to the faithful. The Beatitudes demonstrate that the way to heavenly blessedness is antithetical to the worldly path normally followed in pursuit of happiness. The worldly idea is that happiness is found in riches, merriment, abundance, leisure, and such things. The real truth is the very opposite. The Beatitudes give Jesus’ description of the character of true faith. poor in spirit. The opposite of self-sufficiency. This speaks of the deep humility of recognizing one’s utter spiritual bankruptcy apart from God. It describes those who are acutely conscious of their own lostness and hopelessness apart from divine grace (cf. 9:12 ; Lk 18:13 ). See note on 19:17 . theirs is the kingdom of heaven. See note on 3:2 . Notice that the truth of salvation by grace is clearly presupposed in this opening verse of the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus was teaching that the kingdom is a gracious gift to those who sense their own poverty of spirit.
