This episode challenges the way we define “blessed are those who mourn,” “poor in spirit,” and “meek.” Rather than sadness or weakness, these are states of deep awareness — the recognition that even our greatest earthly moments fall short of God’s full intention for life on earth.
When every goal is met, every success achieved, there’s still a holy dissatisfaction — a grief that pushes us to seek the “exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think.” This mourning is not despair, but the posture that opens the door to God’s greater reality, where His will is done on earth as it is in heaven.
When you realize the best this world offers can’t touch God’s best, you’re positioned to step into it. That holy grief is the key.
