Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matt 5:3 NASB
“You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule. MSG
God is holy and wants us to follow him in holiness. To do this we must listen and obey daily. - 1 Peter 1:16, Philippians 2:12, Luke 9:23
Jesus talks about the requirements for being his disciple (John 15:1-17) and how others will know it (John 13:35)
The Cross/Burden: Luke 9:23 : Matt 10:38; Luke 14:27
Jesus explains this idea of the Cross/Burden on the believer's life in John 15:18-25. And the power to live in connected holiness to God, John 15:26-27. Read John 15
This reminds me of the promise in Matt 11:28-30, "come to me, and I'll give you rest"
Prayer: Lord help me to live a life of integrity with you and let that flow into everything I do and say today. AMEN

- If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me. - Luke 9:23
- And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. - Matt 10:28
- Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. - Luke 14:27
