Scripture: Matthew 5:9
“Blessed are the peacemakers, salve for they will be called children of God.

Thought for the Day: In the Beatitudes, buy cialis or “Be Attitudes,” Jesus lists a number of ways we might find spiritual happiness and a more complete relationship with God. All these changes in attitude help us live a different life; help us be love.

In America, and most of the industrialized world we tend to associate happiness with material things—a good job, money, and perhaps political influence. But Jesus presented a radically different idea of happiness. He explained that happiness is found in service to others, in dependence on God, and in showing mercy, in being a force for peace. When we do all these things we resonate with different aspects of God and become the creatures of love we have the potential to be.

There is wealth beyond imagination available to us in this life, but to be truly happy, to be truly rich, we might want to think about redefining what wealth really means.

Prayer: Glorious God of endless joy, may I open my mind to a new attitude and a new outlook, and my heart to a new way of living. Amen.
