The Beatitudes

"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called children of God.

Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 5:3-10

Who or What causes Problem of Suffering?

Suffering may be "THE RESULT OF OUR ACTIONS"

"For every action there is equal and opposite reaction." Cosmic Law of Cause and Effect

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
because you know the testing of your faith develop perseverance.
Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete,
not lacking anything" James 1:2-4

Suffering may be "THE WORK OF SATAN"

"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is
faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.
But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can
stand up under it" I Corinthians 10:13

Suffering may be "THE CHASTISEMENT OF GOD"

"When we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will
not be condemned with the world" I Corinthians 11:32

"And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons:
"My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline,
and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
and punishes everyone he accepts as a son"
Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not
disciplined by his father? If you are not disciplined, then you are illegitimate
children and not true sons" Hebrews 12:5-8

A Time for Everything

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:

a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time to war and a time for peace.

- ECCLESIASTES 3:1-8

Psalm 23

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
