and encourages us to then reengineer our living according to that precious model. By such an acknowledgment, in a private moment of reconciliation and forgiveness, we will receive blessed assurance!
Even Jesus, in all of his moments of prayer, admitted, "There is a God, my Father, from whom I receive sanction for what I do. I do not do it on my own. I do all I do in God's name because God has sent me. My strength comes from him." The assurance Jesus received came in the moments of intimate contact with God.
When we become aware of our dependence upon God, we will experience the amazing realization that we can be so much more and do so much more when we are partners with God. By making that admission, we begin to arrive. We receive an assurance of the outcome. We know the destination—the kingdom of heaven.
"How blest are those who know their need of God; the kingdom of Heaven is theirs."
One last way of saying this is: "Blessed are those who are dependent upon God, who can acknowledge their inadequacies, acknowledge their dependencies, for the kingdom of heaven will be theirs!" Amen.
