Now I see
Now I understand
Now it makes sense.....
What a truly wonderful thing it is to have your eyes opened~
to see the world with new eyes,
in a new light,
to begin to grasp how things were meant to be~
and made to be.
Oh, if we would take the time to listen,
what a wonderful sound we would hear as creation sings her song so loud and clear!
This is my journey
For so many years, my spirit has been testifying to truth all around me
sometimes i listened, sometimes i didn't.
a few days ago, actually, Easter Sunday,
I was on a walk with my dogs out on our country road when The Lord gave me this simple revelation~
~~Much like oxygen is to the body~
~so are the ways of the Kingdom to this earth we call home~~
I'll break it down:
Our bodies function poorly at best, and only for a short time, when they are depleted of oxygen.
Bodies will begin to deteriorate rapidly without it~
that is the way that they were designed to be
In retrospect~
our bodies function marvelously when plenty of oxygen is present
we thrive when oxygen is in abundant supply~
Yes?
its a simple example,
however most look right past it and are unable to make the connection.
The Kingdom of God is like oxygen to us and the world we find ourselves calling home~
without an abundance of the Kingdom coming to Earth
we are depleted of the very thing that we were meant to thrive upon!
we, who know the King and His Kingdom
have been given the charge and really, privilege
to act as "portals" for the Kingdom of Heaven to invade earth~
These scriptures,
however random they may seem at first glance,
they hold so much of this truth of purpose and thriving in the land!
"For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who is children really are"- Romans 8:19
"So we are Christ's ambassadors; God is making His appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead "Come back to God!" 2 Corinthians 5:20
"I will put my instructions deep within them, and i will write them on their hearts" - Jeremiah 31:33
O, that we would be a people who thrive on the earth!
I do not think anyone would argue with me when i say that we, as humans do not thrive on hatred, or darkness or jealousy, or envy, or war, or disease...
do these sound familiar?
they are a part of the kingdom of darkness
The funny thing is,
we all know at the core of who we are that we do thrive on kindness, on goodness, on peace and love, and gentleness...
do these sound familiar too?
they are the Kingdom of Light
the Kingdom of Heaven!
Look at slowly these two photos~
search within you and understand the emotion/feeling/thoughts that come when looking at them.
His word~ His ways, they have been written on our hearts
You can feel it as you cast your eyes on these images.
We weren't make to live in death, but life!
the amazing thing is that
it is possible here and now to experience this life,
we just have to embrace it,
we have to believe it!
to see the world with new eyes,
in a new light,
to begin to grasp how things were meant to be~
and made to be.
