SS LESSON #1

HUMBLE HEARTS

Matthew 5:3

For my sweet SS sisters: here are the answers to the blanks on yesterday's listening guide (p.11 in your workbook). I'll post a little commentary to go with each section throughout the week.

Being poor in spirit means:

• knowing yourself
• accepting yourself
• and being yourself to the glory of God.

When you are poor in spirit you

• accept others
• accept circumstances
• have a right attitude toward things
• and accept God's Will for your life

Being poor in spirit brings blessing because

• it enables us to grow in grace
• it enables us to reign in life

Cultivating a spirit of humility requires

• accepting God's estimate of yourself
• yielding yourself to God daily
• fixing your eyes on Jesus
• looking for opportunities to serve others.
