Description: For many years Angela Thomas thought of the Beatitudes as a list ì of "Gotta Be's," as in: Gotta be meek. Gotta be merciful. And ì when she compared her life to the standard they set, she always ì felt that she came up short. But through God's great mercy, she ì has come to see this passage instead as a roster of "When You ì Are's." When you are meek, there is a spiritual inheritance. When ì you are merciful, you will be shown mercy.

This shift in thinking has led Thomas to understand that God ì does not require perfection, but rather our gracious obedience. ì In His eyes, our lives-complete with mistakes, blemishes, and ì imperfections-are A Beautiful Offering.
