Humility of Spirit
Blessed are those who have humility of spirit...who are able to recognize their own spiritual emptiness and impoverishment...who set aside their pride and self satisfaction...and who seek The Lord in obedience and faith for forgiveness and fulfillment.
Blessed are those indeed who are poor in spirit...for their hearts shall be filled with The Holy Spirit and their treasure is The Kingdom of Heaven...
