Thy Kingdom Be Lived Within Me

Throughout the centuries, our beautiful earth has been home to multiple species of life.  Humanity was put in place to oversee, enjoy and nurture boundless forms of living organisms.  However, the human race is caught in the struggle of life itself, which has confluence of good and evil; both consist of four letters and both are polar opposites.  We can see the effects or fruit of good in the world and also the effects or fruit of evil. 

There is a higher realm that exists called the Kingdom of God.  An elusive term to some, but those that become awakened to this reality know that this is their true home.  Many scriptures reference to the Kingdom of God.   Jesus states in John 18:36  "My Kingdom is not of this world".  Often a sense of being a pilgrim in our personal journey becomes a heartbeat of knowledge that our citizenship is in heaven (Philippians 3:20).  The Kingdom of God!  Is it a place or a state of being or both??

We can have moments of glory in the world's continuing drama of existence but it cannot come close to what the Kingdom of God offers.  Much has been written regarding this subject and space does not permit me to expand other's collective conclusions.  At this time of my life, I can only relate to you my personal reality.  God is my Source and as my Source, He offers me all who He is and I truly can live and move and have my being in Him.  Therein lies His character that I become one with... I can choose to wrap and hide myself in His robe of embracing love, forgiveness, grace, mercy, peace where joy, hope and healing are found.  My soul becomes soothed and infused in that dynamic.  I have discovered that the Kingdom is available here and now and is constant to sustain, strengthen and satisfy.

Thy Kingdom be lived within me!
