God’s plan saved me and delivered me. And the next best part is that anyone can join me (us)! Sermon on the Mount: how to live in Jesus Kingdom while living in the world… “what’s the best thing that can happen?” In other words, what can God do with this situation?

Good morning! A year ago this month I was recovering from a double mastectomy. Looking back I can see it as a strangely wrapped gift that allowed me to see where God is showing up in my life. I am blessed every day I wake up. His mercies really are new every morning! I am blessed by family. Sons and daughters in law who show their love for me, even as my husband of 46 yrs is now in a nursing home. And God continues to bless me with a job I love. Indeed my soul has been stretched through grief and suffering “blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.”

Last month, I lost my husband of 35 years. I have been blessed with a large church family, who have stepped up to comfort and walk with me through this. I’ve also been blessed with wonderful memories of our life together. Mostly, I’ve been blessed with my faith that’s keeping me strong through this.

Great job John! I look forward to what else you have to say about the Sermon on the Mount. During my class with Dallas Willard on Spiritual Formation, Dallas challenged me to read through the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) every day for 30 days. I actually enjoyed this practice so much that I read through it every day for 60 days. It completely changed the way I see the world and others in particular. Thanks for putting together this daily devotional on the Sermon on the Mount. Well done my friend.

Truth be told, I didn’t realize the “golden rule” shaped all the principles mentioned in the Sermon on the Mount. But as I can see, it truly does. And my hope and prayer is that we all see what Jesus wants us to see in both straightforward and complicated ways how we are, in His eyes, blessed. We start where we are, and let Him take us on the trip to wherever He leads. Peace out, sisters & brothers! Thanks a lot.

Thank you Become New family. Such a simple but profound message is 'the Sermon on the Mount'. Yes, we are blessed every day. If we would take the 'mindset' of thinking and living like each day being a 'birthday' and look around at the many good gifts our loving Heavenly Father has given us to enjoy, we would fill up volumes. Yes, I am thankful for 'Becoming New' and the ministry of 'faith, hope and love' that you share through this social media tool. May God continue to richly bless you all. I love you guys ❤. Jim

To have learned through the teaching of Dallas Willard, John and others that the beatitudes are not a list of things I must do or become to be blessed, but rather Jesus teaching about the real state of things was as jarring as it must have been to the disciples and the crowd. The kingdom of heaven was available to them and it is to me. I am blessed right where I am, in my circumstances.

I have been blessed first of all by the presence of Christ in my life. Second, by my family who has always been by my side when I need them. I have so many more than just three blessings, but for my third I choose the blessing of the ability I have to help others - for there was a time when I was so broke or so sick I could barely help myself. Now I see that I don't have to worry if I have enough money to pick up groceries for my neighbor or enough time to stop in the aisle at Walmart to offer a word of encouragement. Thank you Lord!

I think the way i strive to keep the golden rule is all the things i do to maintain relationships and create new ones. Routinely checking in with members of my recovery community lets them know they are cared for. And, never missing a chance to talk with a newcomer at our meetings. Following up with them to make sure they have a Big Book (AA), and a Bible, then exchanging numbers so if any needs pop up, they have the support they need. Sometimes, i have to recall the story of the child and the starfish. I may not get a chance to love all of them, but i can love this one.
