Eight Beautiful Attitudes 7
To live in peace and spread God’s peace,
to all who come my way
To soothe those troubled waters
of the battle and the fray
To speak words of peace and keep the peace
in all I say and do
To remain at peace and trust the God of peace
when the devil turns the screw
Blessed are the peacemakers

Eight Beautiful Attitudes 6
Purity, integrity, sincerity
are a battle that I daily face
A battle I would lose each day
without God’s saving grace
I strive to form my character
in God’s refining fire
To purge myself of all my faults
for this is my desire
Blessed are the pure in heart

Eight Beautiful Attitudes 5
When it comes to God’s forgiveness
it is I who is in need
And when others come to me
I will refrain to make them plead
As forgiveness has been given me
so I shall freely give
For as humans we will surely err,
but in forgiving I will truly live
Blessed are the meek

Eight Beautiful Attitudes 4
What I feed will grow in me
and what I starve will die
I choose to feed the hunger
I have found for God on high
I choose to feed the kingdom
He’s planted here in me
And when God asks who’s hungry
I will lodge a guilty plea
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness

Eight Beautiful Attitudes 3
I used to long for riches,
for gold and precious rings
I wanted more, I wanted fame
and all these worldly things
But I have turned my back on this
and my God gives second chances
And I have learnt to be content
in all life’s circumstances Blessed are the meek

I really appreciate you taking the time to do this for me and support me in my writing.
Eight Beautiful Attitudes 2
When I look at my poverty,
the lack in my walk
My heart is sad,
I sit and cry and grasp the final stalk
I mourn for what my life could be,
I mourn over my sin
Yet I know that God will hear my cry
and the blessing will begin
Blessed are those who mourn

Eight Beautiful Attitudes 1
When honesty abounds
and the truth is what I speak
I know my faith is pretty poor,
I know my spirit life is weak
Yet when I choose to thirst for God
with all that is within
I know that God will hear my cry
and the blessing will begin
Blessed are the poor in spirit

Leaders
You don’t have to run a church to be a leader in God’s eyes. You don’t have to travel the world to be a missionary. You are a leader over anyone with whom you have influence. You are a missionary wherever you are and to whoever you meet. Everyone is important in the service of God, everyone is important in the eyes of God.

Forgiveness
If we fail to forgive we are no better than the one who we need to forgive. To forgive is a command, not an option. However hard it is, however much we wrestle with it and ask God for help, in the end it is simply a decision of the mind that we need to make. If we fail to forgive we keep ourselves trapped as a prisoner and the one who we need to forgive continues to triumph.
