THIS IS KINGDOM COME!

"No one throws cold water on a friendly bonfire.  This is Kingdome Come!" Jesus threw out these words at his questioners when they asked him why His disciples didn't fast. We are glad when we see Jesus still able to speak up to his aggressors in this way, and we find His words in Matthew 9:15.  Those outsiders sure did pick on him as they tried every advantage to ridicule Jesus.  But Jesus knew His time would come and was coming soon. The time for fasting would be soon about them, but at this time.....this time was a time of rejoicing, celebrating and praise.

This is Kingdom Come.  This, the word itself, tells us that this time, this set of circumstances, this feeling of peace in this very moment, THIS is Kingdom Come.

This...moment as I seek God and read His scripture.
This...moment when I bow to my Savior, Master and relinquish the right to myself.
This....expression of words that comes to my mind and heart.
This...peace, this time, this Life in God, this certainty that Your life is in me.
This...love I have for you, for your people, and even for those who do not believe.
This...all this and more I savor and enjoy.  Each moment with you, each prayer, each thought,       each Word, each person I see that carries your Spirit or needs your touch.

This is Kingdom Come.

Will I be different today because your Kingdom is Here? 

I hope so.  Love, Jo
