Day 2
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
— Matthew 5:3
🎒Empty Pockets, Full Heart
Imagine you wanted to get into a big, beautiful castle. The king opens the door and says, “Only those with empty hands can come in.” That might sound strange—but it’s what Jesus meant when He said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit.”
Being poor in spirit means knowing we need God. We don’t come to Him saying, “Look at how good I am!” We come saying, “Jesus, I need You. I can’t do this on my own.” And when we come like that—He welcomes us into His Kingdom!
🏠 What About Long Ago?
Long ago, many kids just like you followed Jesus. They knew they didn’t need to be perfect or rich or popular. They needed Jesus. And that was enough.
💡 Think About It:
- What does it mean to need Jesus?
- Can you think of a time when you asked Him for help?
🙏 Let’s Pray:
Jesus, I know I need You every day. Help me to come to You with a humble heart and empty hands. I want to live in Your Kingdom! Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
