On that day the poor in spirit will enter the kingdom of
heaven. You won't be able to watch it on CNN or YouTube.
On that day they that mourn shall be comforted. It won't be
because of Hillary Clinton.
On that day the meek shall inherit the earth. It won't be
because of Wall Street.
On that day those who hunger and thirst after righteousness
shall be filled. It won't be because of the Department of Defense.
On that day the merciful shall obtain mercy. It won't be
because of the Department of Justice.
On that day the pure in heart shall see God. It won't be
because of the Pope or the President.
On that day the peacemakers shall be called the children of
God. They won't receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
On that day those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake
shall receive the kingdom of heaven. The wicked ones will say it should be
theirs instead.
On that day those whom men revile, and persecute, and say
all manner of evil against falsely for Jesus' sake will meet the Lord. He will
know His flock, and they will know Him.
As for the rest of you, on that day you too shall receive
your reward.
