Bill's comment on 2014-12-11 20:25:29:

Poverty of spirit is the opposite of the Laodicean attitude, Thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing Rev. 3 17a . Ironically, those who think they have something to offer God are actually bankrupt and don t realize it. And knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked Rev. 3 17b . The poor in spirit, on the other hand, are rich in faith and, because of that, will be rewarded in the kingdom to come. Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? James 2 5.
