Matthew 5:3. Blessed are the poor in spirit: for their’s is the kingdom of heaven.
"Blessed." See how Jesus begins his Sermon on the Mount, he begins with benedictions. He is a cloud that is full of rain, and that empties itself upon the earth. The moment you begin to know Christ, you begin to have blessings; and the more you know of him, the more blessed you will be. "Blessed are the poor in spirit:" not those who boast themselves of spiritual riches and personal goodness, but the lowly, the meek, the trembling, the humble, the poor in spirit, "for their’s is the kingdom of heaven."
