Triumphing (3 of 28)

He dealt with the poor in spirit, those who mourn; those who are meek, they that hunger and thirst after righteousness; those who are merciful, and the pure in heart. For each instance, the Lord promises them something that the world can’t give them, but rewards that come directly from heaven! I can handle a promise like that!! But again, in order f ...
