iFellowship Day is here again. I just love this day. It is a day that I have dedictaed to sharing my favorite scriptures or scriptures that have touched my heart throughout the past week. This week, I am sharing the Beatitudes. Nothing is more beautiful than hearing Jesus’ sweet words. Blessings to you all today.
Matthew 5
The Beatitudes
1 And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him.
2 Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:
3 “ Blessed are the poor in spirit,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
For they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
For they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
For they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
For they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called sons of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.
12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
I hope you will stop by Seeds of Faith and look at all the blogs that have linked up today. You just never know what blessings you might get.

Hi Joy,
You visited my blog last night…thank you! I have just begun a six week study about the beatitudes. It's by Jennifer Kennedy Dean and is called Set Apart. I've learned so much! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for stopping by, for the encouraging word and for your post today!
I love reading the different verses of God's word that have spoken to someone for that day/ week/ moment. We are doing the Proverbs Challenge, and I am amazed at how each day God "highlights" a different verse. I like to think of it as Him picking out a verse just for me. 🙂
What a wonderful meme! Thank you for sharing. Haven't been by for awhile, my blog reading time has been curtailed by my life, lol. Thanks for the reminder of why I love yours.
Love it!!! Thanks for sharing God's Sweet Words!!
