Sitting on the hills overlooking the Sea of Galilee, Jesus taught people in a talk known as the Sermon on the Mount.  Found in the Bible book of Matthew, chapter 5, he assigns blessings to people with curious personality or situational traits, and in some cases, what we'd call flaws. “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3) is where Jesus begins and it’s where each of our own spiritual journeys, our relationship with God, starts.
