Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. — Matthew 5:6
This is good news for all of us who grew up knowing we were sinners. We want to please God. We don’t know how. We don’t have the ability to. We fail in all sorts of ways. But wait! God has a promise for us.
The accent is on the second half of the sentence. They will be filled.
All around us we have the "what" of Christianity. You should be kind. You should be loving. You should be generous. Etc. Etc. But Jesus is the "how." When He fills us, the "what" happens automatically.
Be encouraged!
