the beauty of words

so many beautiful words out there. we can read, hear them and speak them. we can say just the words 'i love you" and hearing that from a person you care about is an awesome gift. when my husband still tells me he loves me, there is no greater gift to me because i believe it with my whole being that it is true.

GOD has given so many words of love in scripture, and they are all true. of all the love in the heavens and earth this is the greatest love. i am going to share with you verses from matthew today. i read this with grandmother, it is one of our favorites to hear. it brings great peace and comfort to each other. share your words of beauty and love. let those around you; family, friends, mentors know that you care and love them.

matthew 5:1-12

"now when he saw the crowds, he went up on the mountainside and sat down. his disciples came to him , and he began to teach them, saying:

blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
blessed are those who mourn, for
they will be comforted.
blessed are the meek, for they
will inherit the earth.
blessed are those who hunger and
thrist for righteousness, for
they will be filled.
blessed are the merciful, for
they will be shown mercy.
blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see GOD.
blessed are the peacemakers for
they will be called sons of GOD.
blessed are those who are
persecuted because of righteouness for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they perscucated the prophets who were before you."
