As years go by my spirit is at low
My awareness at its peak knowing that I am alone
I can’t seem to figure out any purpose throughout my life
Until one day a friend came to me with delight
They seem to be at peace, their smile so bright
He exclaimed with excite but noticed at first sight
He knew something was off and asked me if I was alright
I told to him about my feelings, he stayed and listened all night
He wanted to help so he wanted me to experience something new
I asked him what does he mean, he says “start praying to God” with a smile on his face
As he leaves I think all day on what he says, and when I got home I start to pray
I put my hands together and bowed my head and told him how I truly felt, and my spirit began to float
I heard his voice, I sense his presence, I felt his love
The power of love came into me. I hear him say a bible verse.
Matthew 5:3. "Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
I ask him what does he mean and what is he trying to say
After that, he never said anything else
So i searched for a meaning wanting to understand
Leaving me confused I lay myself to rest, head pondering about the words God spoke to me.
Before laying to rest I prayed for understanding, then it came, the answer I was searching for
Those who are “poor in spirit” are blessed because they will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven
I broke through another layer of joyfulness.
