Luke 6:21

Happiness And Sorrow

²⁰ And turning his eyes to his disciples he said, Happy are you who are poor: for the kingdom of God is yours. ²¹ Happy are you who are in need of food now: for you will be made full. Happy are you who are weeping now; for you will be glad. ²² Happy are you, when men have hate for you, and put you away from among them and say angry words to you, turning away in disgust at your name, because of the Son of man.

Blessed are
