In my personal studies I've
been hitting Matthew 5 very hard, especially the Beatitudes. In a manual it
talks about what it means to be "Blessed". It says, "Happiness
comes from without and is dependent on circumstances. Blessedness is an inward
fountain of joy in the soul itself, which no outward circumstance can seriously
affect." Dummelow's Commentary. So when it says "Blessed are..."
we can see it as being even greater than happiness because our hearts are in
line with God's. I love that and am seeking to feel blessed.
