How Liberated Are Those (A Paraphrase of the Beatitudes)

From the Boundless Life collection

1.  How liberated are those who have learnt to let go;

They shall experience the mystery of God.

2.  How strong are those who are not afraid to admit their weaknesses;

Their tears shall heal their grief.

3.  How beautiful are those who reverence life;

The Earth shall rejoice in their presence.

4.  How satisfied are those who long to serve God;

For God shall be their delight.

5.  How happy are those who are willing to forgive others;

They shall find release from guilt and fear.

6.  How enlightened are those who know oneness with all things;

They shall see God everywhere.

7.  How inspiring are those who work for justice and peace;

They shall live as children of God.

8.  What an opportunity there is for those who suffer in the cause of right;

Their rejection can become a doorway to new life.

 

Matthew 5:3-10
