I want you to understand more of what I offer in the mystery of this journey. Do not listen to those who represent themselves as having authority to demand of me. That is little more than religious pride, and I reject it. I urge upon you the realization of need for me. Examine the concept of being poor in spirit vs. pride. Ask me to teach you about being poor in spirit…the acute sense of need for me that gives understanding to humility and surrender. It opens the door to my blessing. I look for exactly that in you. 
 

Matthew 5:3
God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
