1. Blessed are those who admit their spiritual poverty, for theirs is the kingdom of recovery.
2. Blessed are those who mourn their shortcomings in the presence of God and another safe human being, for they will be comforted.
3. Blessed are those who humbly ask God, for they will have even the whole earth.
4. Blessed are those who turn their intense hunger and thirst toward God, for they will be filled as never before.
5. Blessed are those who carry the message of recovery to other sufferers, for they will keep their recovery.
6. Blessed are those who continue to promptly admit their wrongs, for they will have a clean conscience to see God.
7. Blessed are those who make amends, for they will be called the family of God.
8. Blessed are those whose loving detachment meets misunderstanding and ridicule, for theirs is the kingdom of recovery. |
