“Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:3). “Poor in spirit” means to have nothing at all, both materialistically and spiritually speaking. So what does one have left? The answer is: only God. Is this possible? It is possible, because Jesus has already done it. For the sake of loving us completely, He abandoned His will (Father! May Your will be done on me.), His body (nailed on the cross), His mother (To John: “Look! Your Mother..”) Even though Jesus has nothing, He possesses the hearts of each and every one of us. When we agree to carry out God’s will, wealth, health and other people’s judgements will no longer impede us from “continuing to love”.. We are liberated, because Jesus has become our path. The kingdom of heaven is near as we live in a state “without wants”. To be “without wants” means that we can lay down our own selves at anytime to embrace everyone around us.
