God's blessings come to us regardless of our circumstances.  We become more aware of them as we become more aware that we are right with God.  Jesus spoke directly of the blessed -- those who are happy in their relationship with God.  In His Sermon on the Mount, he addressed the "poor in Spirit" first.   Learn what it means to be poor in Spirit, and how acknowledgement of this state can lead to a more abundant life.  Pastor Tommy Larson amplifies the lessons Jesus has for us in this the first in a series on the Beatitudes found in Matthew 5.
