Often when I am feeling discouraged about life, I remember the Sermon on the Mount. There, Jesus talked to the people about blessings. Not blessings for the most noble, noticed, or honored among people. But heavenly blessings for the meek, humble, sad, merciful, righteous, and persecuted. These are blessings that are promised to us. I pray that they give you the same comfort that they give me.
