1. Blessed are those who mourn,for they will be comforted.Every time I go through a confession, I sincerely repent and ask forgiveness for the sins I have committed. I regret making some decisions and therefore ask God for guidance. Admitting my mistakes isnt easy but it helps a lot to confess them because I feel renewed and enlightened after it.

2. Blessed are the pure in heart,for they will see God.I do believe that if you act like Jesus you become an image of Jesus. I once gave a sword toy to some street children in hopes to brighten their day. I was influence by the saying Share your Blessings. Doing simple acts like that little by little makes us see God in each and every one of us.

3. Blessed are the peacemakers,for they will be called sons of God. There are situations in which we get caught in between a fight. We are then forced to choose sides. This happened to me one time when my friends got into an altercation. I listened to both sides and made them reconcile by making them talk to each other in neutral ground. As sons of God, we should seek peace and not war.

4. Blessed are the merciful,for they will be shown mercy.People are often influenced by what they see in their environment. One time I saw a student that went to buy food for a street child. She even went with him to buy the food and also made use of her umbrella to shade both of them. She showed mercy and compassion so it influenced me to do the same thing. I gave food to some street children later on that day and hopefully it also inspired someone to show mercy to people struggling with poverty.

5. Blessed are the meek,for they will inherit the earth.As Gods creations, we should follow his example and reenact his ways. He gave us this world to take care of and not abuse. I helped out once in a cleaning project by picking up trash in a local park. In this way I was able to preserve what God had created and submit to his humble ways.
