Love like Jesus. Respect like Jesus. Forgive like Jesus. Accept like Jesus. Be patient like Jesus.

I think I am more mindful, or even just being mindful now as opposed to before where I didn't care and these things never even occurred to me.

I started reading up on the beatitudes lately and I think I'm going to be mindful of those too.

It has to follow a process.

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

Blessed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called children of God.

Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Becoming poor in spirit, leading to mourning because of that poorness, leading to meekness and a self surrender of everything, which leads to a hunger and thirst for something(righteousness), which leads to giving and receiving mercy, making peace among others, and ultimately to being persecuted for that. Inheriting the kingdom of God, being comforted, inheriting the earth, being satisfied of hunger and thirst, being on the receiving end of mercy, seeing and experiencing God, becoming and being called a child of God, and back to the kingdom of God.

Still figuring it out...
