*great to read alongside Killjoys
All of the blessings of humility flow from being poor in spirit. Really simple but profound explanation of the beatitudes. Wish I had read this sooner.

Love the forward-looking perspective on persecution for us in the West; and the acknowledgement that we should always seek to respond with humility toward those ho hurt us.
“We gain a true perspective of our own suffering when we realize how much more our persecuted brothers and sisters are going through” (82).
➡️which is why I think missionary bios are key to trudging through despair and fear

“It means we believe that God causes all events in our lives, whether good or bad as we judge them, to work together to conform us more…” (31).

“…a life of humility is not an option for a believer to chose or reject. It is a command of God” (3).
“To humble oneself…is to submit to and accept even adverse providential circumstances from God” (6).
POOR IN SPIRIT—to be presently and constantly aware of the corruption, impurity, and sin within oneself, but is not paralyzed by it and looks to the cross; doesn’t complain of adverse circumstances
