My Kingdom is not of this World…

You question:

“When will it come?”

“Where will it be?”

“What is my place?”

What will I gain?

Unlike any other,

My Kingdom IS

Always at hand,

Always open.

Hidden, yet revealed,

Free, yet costly,

Simple, yet misunderstood.

Cast aside:

Expectations,

Achievements,

Treasures,

Rights.

Come empty.

As a child,

Without privilege,

Without status,

Unburdened,

Unhindered,

Open.

I wait . . .

Listen.

Look.

Follow.

Enter.

What will you find?

Truth!

Light!

Mercy!

Love!

Hope!

Faith!

Purpose!

Vision!

Freedom!

Life!

That which remains!

You will find me!

Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power
    and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
    for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, Lord, is the kingdom;
    you are exalted as head over all.

1 Chronicles 29:11
