The halfbaked Bard

Blessed are the merciful for they will receive mercy.  Mercy is not for tough people. Mercy is for the weak. It is more theoretical than practical in this world. You can't trust anyone. You have to look after your own world.  Jesus says, be merciful to others and you will be shown mercy. The story of the good samaritan still holds good. It is valid and true. Though the world secretly acknowledges it, no one wants to show mercy for they are all selfish. No one wants to be shown mercy because all are self made.  But Jesus says, without mercy from above there is no scope. All our righteous deeds are like filthy rags. You can't measure up with God.  Image credit: https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=gods+mercy

God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice For they will be satisfied This world is filled with cheating and malpractices. Be it your boss or be it taxes. And the world calls it not sin, but smart, intelligent and wise. The one whom the world calls wise, God calls fool - if you are not rich unto God. Hunger and thirst for justice for you will be satisfied.  Righteousness only comes from Jesus. Whatever good we do will not catch up with God's holiness. All are filthy rags. Hunger and thirst for the righteousness that God gives, for you will be satisfied.  Image credit:  https://www.bespokefundingprogram.com/smart-money-technique-for-funded-traders/

God blesses those who are humble for they will inherit the whole earth.  Be proud of yourself. Highlight your accolades. Let the world know. Post it in social media. Get maximum likes and retweets and shares. Pride comes from what you have achieved. It is a natural healthy feeling that comes when you inherit the earth.  Jesus says, be humble. What is it that you have that has not been given to you. Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord. Don't think high or low of yourself. Don't think of yourself at all. Denying self is a key to be humble. Then you will inherit the earth.  Moses was the probably the greatest man in the history of Israel. Yet God calls him the meekest man on earth. And it was he himself who wrote it in the annals. Yet he was not proud.  Proud goes before a fall. God gives grace to the humble.  Image credit: https://www.christianity.com/wiki/christian-terms/what-does-humility-mean-in-the-bible-why-should-we-be-humble.html

Blessed are those who mourn For they will be comforted.  The world says be bold. Don't cry. Tears are for weak people. Face your circumstances boldly Fortune favours the brave. Face your situations with courage. The world asks you to hide your tears.  Jesus says - mourn. It's okay to cry. Come to me all who are weary and tired. I will give you rest. You will be comforted. Jesus is probably the only one who understands your loneliness and weariness.  Image credit:  https://in.pinterest.com/naveratamseel/crying-eyes/
