The Kingdom of God

The Kingdom of God is in You.

I always enjoyed reflecting on this.  It brings me comfort to think of it.  It's actually quite extraordinary and profound.  The Kingdom of God is in You.  IN YOU.

We are such beautiful creations, and so very special and half the time we move through our lives not realizing just how extraordinary we are.  We allow the ordinary stuff of life to make us feel dull, unimportant, vague.

But we are divine!

And we hear this,and many times we even chant it "God lives in me" or "God is part of me" but do we truly understand and appreciate the magnitude of that truth? It's not that God is some guy floating around somewhere and that line is some proverbial metaphor for our similarity.  No.  It means that our very essence, our soul, the physical and spiritual being of who we are and what we are is part of the infinite and extraordinary presence of God.  God is not "with us" God is part of us.   We were made in the image of God.



Do you understand what that means? 

It means that just like we posses features and personality traits of our parents, we posses the spirit of God.  And it is always and constant.   We deny it at times, or we forget, but it is always there, divine and beautiful and eternal.

When we truly recognize that, it is amazing and calming and healing.   The Kingdom of God exists in us - our job is to acknowledge that and appreciate it and claim our connection to that divine energy that is God.  Be thankful and be glad.

Celebrate the joy and love of God always.
