### **For the Poor and Poor in Spirit**  

*A Tribute to Christ’s Mercy*

**Thank You, Jesus—**  

For leaving heaven’s throne-room bright,  

To walk in dust, in human night.  

*"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor."*  

**—Luke 4:18**  

**You came for those with empty hands,**  

For hearts that ache in barren lands.  

*"He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap."*  

**—Psalm 113:7**  

**You came for us—the poor in spirit,**  

Who tremble, wait, and long to hear it:  

*"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."*  

**—Matthew 5:3**  

**You did not turn from ragged clothing,**  

From hungry eyes or sorrow’s brooding—  

*"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice... to share your food with the hungry?"*  

**—Isaiah 58:6–7**  

**You touched the sick, the blind, the lame,**  

The shamed ones whispering Your name.  

*"The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor."*  

**—Matthew 11:5**  

**And still You come—in bread, in wine,**  

In every whispered, “*You are Mine.*”  

*"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me."*  

**—Revelation 3:20**  

**So we, the needy, gather near—**  

Your mercy casts out every fear.  

*"Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life."*  

**—Revelation 22:17**

### A Blessing Over You  

*May you **know** the depth of His love for the humble.  

May you **see** His hand providing in your wilderness.  

May you **rest** in the kingdom promised to the poor in spirit.  

And may you **become** His hands and feet to those still waiting in the shadows.*  

**"He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God."**  

**—Proverbs 14:31**

**You are seen. You are loved. You are why He came.**
