Do you not know that God blesses you and draws ever closer to you, when you are treated unkindly by others? He wants you to lean on His strength. He wants you to trust in His everloving Grace. He wants you to have Peace. All this does come at a price, however, we have to cast aside the unkindness that is directed at us, just as Jesus did when people mocked Him.
The Beatitudes, can be a source of reassurance when disparaging behavior or words are directed at you. God takes notice and will deal with the thoughtlessness, in His own way.
God blesses those who realize their need for Him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is given to them.
God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
God blesses those who are gentle and lowly, for the whole earth will belong to them.God blesses those who are hungry and thirsty for justice, for they will receive it in full.
God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God.
God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.
God blesses those who are persecuted because they live for God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
