Finding comfort in Jesus

These are Jesus's words....
(MAT 5:3-12 MSG)

“You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope.
With less of you there is more of God and his rule.
“You’re blessed when you feel you’ve lost what is most dear to you.
Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you.
“You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are—no more, no less.
That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought.

“You’re blessed when you’ve worked up a good appetite for God.
He’s food and drink in the best meal you’ll ever eat. 
“You’re blessed when you care. 
At the moment of being ‘care-full,’ you find yourselves cared for. 

“You’re blessed when you get your inside world—your mind and heart—put right. 
Then you can see God in the outside world. 
“You’re blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. 
That’s when you discover who you really are, and your place in God’s family. 

“You’re blessed when your commitment to God provokes persecution. 
The persecution drives you even deeper into God’s kingdom. 
“Not only that—count yourselves blessed every time people put you down or throw you out or speak lies about you to discredit me. 
What it means is that the truth is too close for comfort and they are uncomfortable. 
You can be glad when that happens—give a cheer, even!—for though they don’t like it, I do! 
And all heaven applauds. And know that you are in good company. 
My prophets and witnesses have always gotten into this kind of trouble.

Even though it is nice to find comfort in friends, friends don't always understand you (actually most of the time they don't even know how to listen or what to say).  But Jesus does.  I love Jesus.  I talk to Jesus like my best friend usually all throughout the day and especially at night.  I'm not saying this to sound like a proud Christian. I am saying this because I have learned to enjoy life and feel comforted from my problems because of Jesus. I hope one day you will experience His comfort in some way too.

Quote of the day:Robin Williams' monologue from the movie Jack (beautiful!): "I don't have very much time these days so I'll make it quick. Like my life. You know, as we come to the end of this phase of our life, we find ourselves trying to remember the good times and trying to forget the bad times, and we find ourselves thinking about the future. We start to worry , thinking, "What am I gonna do? Where am I gonna be in ten years?" But I say to you, "Hey, look at me!" Please, don't worry so much. Because in the end, none of us have very long on this Earth. Life is fleeting. And if you're ever distressed, cast your eyes to the summer sky when the stars are strung across the velvety night. And when a shooting star streaks through the blackness, turning night into day... make a wish and think of me. Make your life spectacular. I know I did." Robin Williams as Jack
