Blessed are those who have heart. Blessed are those who love, who build up unity everywhere. Blessed are those who stand with the poor; blessed are those who themselves are poor as beggars. Blessed are those who know themselves as beggars before the Spirit. Blessed are those who are so poor that they hunger and thirst. Blessed are those who feel this hunger and thirst for justice, for the justice of the heart, of love, for the establishment of peace in unity. For they are the people who carry the pain of the world on their hearts, who carry the suffering of the world in their innermost being. They do not think of themselves, for their whole heart is turned toward others.

Yesterday's quote

In the Church of the Spirit the believer’s heart is made pure and free from every deadly sin of selfish life, by community with the death of Christ. His heart is directed in righteousness towards God and His uniting kingdom. His body knows that he has been cleansed from deathly lusts in the baptism of faith. He stands in the unity of God’s life, in the certainty of God’s promise and assurance of perpetual life.

Jesus Christ is the revelation of God—of the God who in this revelation of His nature is the healer of the sick and of sinners. Whoever receives His Spirit and becomes a new man through his new birth is free, certain, open-hearted, clear and open-eyed. He is in possession of a power which enables him to fulfill the most difficult and impracticable tasks, even to do the impossible.

How wonderful are the inner experiences of many in this dreadful time of war. In the midst of hell the eternal power of the kingdom of heaven has shown itself. Basically it is like this everywhere in our lives. In our hearts, in our work, everywhere, we are surrounded by hellish powers. Again and again, in spite of the prevailing conditions, we must keep watch over the kingdom of God.
