Thy Kingdom Come......
On Sunday I listened to a great sermon full of wisdom and
truth preached by my pastor Jim. He is a kind wonderful man that reminds me of Santa
clause and Father Christmas all in one. He has a great faith and a deep smile
that makes everyone of us feel that we are indeed the children of God.He spoke of the many truths of life and love. It is
interesting that we hear them everyday, and we sometimes pass over them because
of familiarity.
A key phrase of his sermon remained with us as we drove home
“Seek first the kingdom of God
, and all things will be added unto you”
-amazing words, I am
sure we have heard that phrase over and over again, and we have through study
prayer and stillness sort the kingdom of
God, which was and I do believe is amoung us. Brenton and I discussed
many view points of “seeking the kingdom” and ended our discussion with yet
more to come.
This morning as I was reading through my favorite literature
I found an interesting article. It spoke of a couple, the wife was ailing due
to some sudden illness and she was feeling badly.
“Husband” she said “I am so sorry that we did not do all
those wonderful things we planned when we first got married. I am sorry I wish
I had been more creative and supportive for you”
“My dear” he replied. “The greatest thing for me is simply
to be in the same room as you and to share those simple moments with you that’s
all I ever wanted” among us.
How beautiful is that I do believe that this is a simple yet
deep answer to the question of how you and I can seek his kingdom. I do believe
that being in the same room as God and simply sharing and acknowledging his
presence with us will be the foundation of the coming of his kingdom into or
lives. That’s the Love that God wants and desires from us it is not too
complicated. To simply love and enjoy being with him and speaking to him, how
amazing is that. We are truly blessed.I was glad that I read this passage today and I was able to
share the little lesson I learned. I am now chatting with God I hope we all
are.
Blessings and Light
