Poor in spirit

"Poor In Spirit, Rich, In God's Kingdom", (Matthew 5:3)
It is one of the 8 blessings of God. I got what Pastor tried to say this morning. But I just don't know how to express it comprehensively. Perhaps I didn't really get the full picture, but at least I comprehended the message. I just think that if spirit is rich, then people needs God's word no more. They don't have to seek for God anymore, since they are rich. However, they somehow need to understand that today whatsoever they have are granted by God. If they are rich, they would never know how to give thank to God. For instance, not even say thank you for meal. But exactly what is mean by rich in spirit? Do they feel contented in spirit even when they are rich? Does money buy them everything they want? However, we all know that money can't buy a family, money can't buy a love one, money can't buy a faithful heart!... Only the love of God can satisfy a poor spirit, God's love is amazing, & very wonderful.

It was right that Pastor said, poor in spirit stops you becoming proud. Blessed are those who are poor in spirit, for their is the kingdom of God. Money cannot last forever, but the kingdom of God, which is the resident of heavenly place.

It was so glad to call my parent tonight, but they were in a wedding dinner, not convenient to talk. Then, I called my sister, have good conversation. Thank God!
