"Reveal the unseen Kingdom. The glory of the new Son; where ever more His love imparts the kingdom in our hearts."

More and more, as I read and study the Bible, I see that Christ was concerned with the attitude of the heart. Our hearts are physical, literal muscles which facilitate the pumping of blood to all parts of the body, which allows us to breathe and live and learn and function. But that four-chambered space is not what is being sought... what is being sought is the character of your person, the "heart" of who you are. Because it is from the overflow of our hearts that we show people who we are (Luke 6:45). In those moments, it should always be our prayer that the "unseen kingdom," as referred to here, is the most recent thing in our hearts... that way, we can share it in whatever capacity we are able with another person!
"Though we are strangers, we must not appall, but rise to answer the call."

And we must ensure that we do not limit our service and sacrifice to only those we know. Jesus did not limit himself only to the religious few of the day, you know... He kinda hung out around the bad apples of the time. And when asked why He was always around folks who were being judged on earth by men as being "bad," He always showed only love and wisdom in that He was sent "to seek and save the lost" (Luke 19:10). And so I pose to you a question: that which has been revealed to each of us is powerful in our lives, but how are we able to discern who it can or cannot help other than ourselves? To put it another way, why would we be so selfish as to keep what God does for us a secret?
His story never ends, as long as we keep telling it, Christian. Ponder on that for a while...
"Exsiccatum est foenum, et cecidit flos; Verbum autem Domini nostri manet in aeternum."

The Word endures forever (Isaiah 40:8). FOREVER! Long after you and I and all we know are gone, God's Word will be in full force, just as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be. We must look to the things that we are shown, and search our hearts to see His kingdom revealed within us... because as it is revealed within us, we can then share it with those who need to hear it. The question is, are you looking in the right place?
Remember: Reveal the unseen kingdom.
God bless you all!!!
