Happy are the Poor?!?

In Luke's Beatitudes, basically everything that I try to avoid -- like poverty, sadness, hunger, and being disliked -- Jesus says is good for me. How easy is it for us to be attached more to earthly things than to God! It is my poverty, experienced in different ways, that helps me to live and embrace my identity as beloved son of the Father, on whom I am completely dependent. What a blessing it is to be poor and needing everything from God!
