<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“<strong><em>Those people who know they have great spiritual needs are happy, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to them.�</em></strong> <span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Matthew 5:3</strong> </span>(NCV)</p>
<p>[<em>God</em>] promises [<em>sacred delight</em>]. And he promises it to an unlikely crowd:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">    * &#8220;<strong><span style="color: #333399;">The poor in spirit</span></strong>.&#8221;  Beggars in God&#8217;s soup kitchen.<br />
  <br />
  * &#8220;<strong><span style="color: #333399;">Those who mourn</span></strong>.&#8221;  Sinners Anonymous bound together by the truth  of   their introduction: &#8220;<em>Hi, I am me. I&#8217;m a sinner</em>.&#8221;&#8230;.<br />
   <br />
* &#8220;<strong><span style="color: #333399;">The merciful</span></strong>.&#8221;  Winners of the million-dollar lottery who share the prize with their enemies.<br />
   <br />
* &#8220;<strong><span style="color: #333399;">The pure in heart</span></strong>.&#8221;  Physicians who love lepers and escape infection.<br />
   <br />
* &#8220;<span style="color: #333399;"><strong>The peacemakers</strong></span>.&#8221;  Architects who build bridges with wood from a Roman cross&#8230;.<br />
 <br />
  * <strong>&#8220;<span style="color: #333399;">The persecuted</span></strong>.&#8221;  Those who manage to keep an eye on heaven while walking through hell on earth.</p>
<p>It is to this band of pilgrims that God promises a special blessing. A heavenly joy. A sacred delight.</p>
