The Kingdom of God is like...

The Kingdom of God is like waking up one day, realizing you are completely naked and discovering so is everyone else.

The Kingdom of God is like going to get some Dove dark chocolate and having the joy of giving your piece away to the neighbor who looks like they need it.

The Kingdom of God is like picking up the biggest boulder you and find and because you are carrying it for a brother, finding it's weight can be managed.

The Kingdom of God is weeping with those who weep, questioning with those who question, searching with those who seek, finding peace is the tension.

The Kingdom of God is the moment when you realize all that you thought you should run from, you should be running toward.

The Kingdom of God is the middle of the Oreo, getting through the crusty edges to the sweet center.

The Kingdom of God is the outrageous laughter that wells up inside in the middle of the tears that later no one can explain.

The Kingdom of God is in the dark and the scary and the lonely and the broken just as much as it is in the sunlight and the joy and the laughter and the unity.  Both contain God but not all of God.

The Kingdom of God is in the moment when some one you love needs something, and you discover you have it.  And you realize you have it because some one you love would need it.

The Kingdom of God is in the silence, and in the breaking of the silence.

The Kingdom of God is in the redemption, in my life time and beyond it.

The Kingdom of God is in the annoyance of the big fat wood bee, and all of the imperfections that insert themselves into my world.  Oh that I might conquer the fear and learn to stand still with them.

The Kingdom of God is under the umbrella of a imperfect stranger, in the ridiculous sunglasses of companion, in the repetition of a story. 

The Kingdom of God is in the small circle of friends who love deeply, and in the large crowd who loves not at all.

The Kingdom of God is in the release of those I love, into the Hands who love better.

The Kingdom of God is the moment that God sweeps me up into His arms and we dance.

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done. 

Amen, and Amen
