Beatitudes

For two days, I noticed the new group formed in the memory of someone who just passed away. This group consisted of many members, fans, including two acquaintances of mine and testimonies. I do admit that they touched my heart even though I did not know that person who left this world. She was known as a cheerful person who had high impact on many people. Being a curious cat, my hands were busy typing for a story through the search engine. When I finally found it and read up, my heart reached the state of shock.

"My friend, ____________, took her life early on Wednesday morning," it read.

My instinct was telling me that she had committed suicide! My brain was rushing for the answers but in vain. It made me realize that life was short and anything could happen. So I was reading the verses for that.

"Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor, the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to them!

Happy are those who mourns; God will comfort them!

Happy are those who are humble; they will receive what God has promised!

Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires; God will satisfy them fully!

Happy are those who are merciful to others; God will be merciful to them!

Happy are the pure in heart; they will see God!

Happy are those who work for peace; God will call them His children!

Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires; the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to them!

Happy are you when people insult you and persecute you and tell all kind of evil lies against you because you are my followers.

Be happy and glad, for a great reward is kept for you in Heaven."

(Matthew 5:3-12)
