Matthew 5:6

Blessed [joyful, nourished by God’s goodness] are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness [those who actively seek right standing with God], for they will be [completely] satisfied.

MATTHEW 5:6

As I mother you,
others advise what to do.
I can’t seem to figure it out.
Trouble is established.
We are exhausted.

I cry out, ”Father, this child is yours.”
As I release you,
encumbrances are removed.
It is utterly effortless.
Belief is established.
We are courageous.

As I pray for you,
motherly perfection dims.
God illuminates through His word.
Wisdom is established.
We are satisfied.
