The heart is the essence of how you think...it is your attitude that shapes you. Looking through the Beatitudes Or attitude of Jesus I discovered a pattern. One attitude builds upon another. There is a progression to shaping my attitude to become like Jesus.

There is something deeper here as well. God wants us to live in His bliss. Bliss is a state of perfect contentedness That is not achieved by our self efforts. We sometimes call bliss happiness but it is deeper. The best word picture I can paint is a child in his mother’s arms.

We search for happiness but it is fleeting. Joy is the fruit of the Holy Spirit and the result is the bliss of God. The bliss of God begins in our hearts as He changes us. This is the essence of how we think....this is our attitudes.
