God Be With Us
Blessed are the oppressed who do not become their oppression. Blessed are the God-forsaken who do not forsake God (Cf. Matt. 27:46).
Blessed are the great-hearted. For great-heartedness is God-be-with-you not as hope or prayer, but in fact. Great-heartedness is really living what the world under the sun still dreams of.
Blessed are those who identify themselves with God and not God with themselves.

Did you mean to say: "For great-heartedness is God-be-with-you not only as hope or prayer but also in fact"?
Paul, this is a great insight. Spirit, the essence of life, is the undercurrent that ties us all together - and what fuels frustration for people because we are so different on other levels.
May God bless you in this new year, and vice versa! :)

TIMJAMZ: Thanks, I liked that too – also your closing remark, which I had to read twice, lol, and same to you!
I love the differentaion that you have made. Excellent!

N2, good to see you. Yeah, I'd say that's mission-critical for the species...
TIM - It was written well, but that last line had an effect like, I don't know, turning my mind on its heels to suddenly look back at itself. Sort of koan like. I guess more coffee might have helped...
I like what you've said here.
"Blessed are those who identify themselves with God..."
God be with you

It's good to know that some people read blogs who may not necessarily have blogs.
NASRA, thanks for stopping by. Forgiveness is such a complicated topic. I may have just touched on it a long time ago, I think on A Spiritual Diablog. I should post something on that again sometime.
