21Blessed are you that hunger now: for you shall be filled. Blessed are you that weep now: for you shall laugh.
22Blessed are you, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.
23Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

LORD in my pain you are blessing me, drawing me closer to you, sifting me, sanding me, cutting out the stuff in my life that you know it does not belong to be, to make me more like yourself.
