Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:Ten
I now understand why Jesus said "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near!" Jesus was trying to get the people of His day and now to understand that the kingdom of heaven is closer to us than we think. We are all guilty of saying "I can't wait to get to heaven" While missing the point that while time we are worshiping a heaven in the sky, God is trying to give us heaven on earth. Our connection with God is His way of transferring of all that He wants to do on earth for us and through us. We have become so busy with worshiping our trip back to heaven that we are missing the goal of God trying to make a heaven here on earth. We have become homesick seeking a home that God intended on us have here.
One of my favorite quotes is "We are spiritual beings have a human experience." When God created us He created us in His likeness and image. He also give us unlimited power and access to His kingdom. His goal was for us to have a interdependent relationship with Him were we work together to accomplish His divine goal. But when sin entered into the divine, ties were cut, relationships were broken which lead us on a quest of seeking home ever since. Ultimately leaving us with homesickness as we continue to use our flesh to get back to what we lost. God saw how we were having a hard time trying to get back to Him. We broken His heart with our flesh and we continue to use our flesh (our works) to win His love back to us. Thank God that He seen that our flawed attempts so He sent His son to teach us how to renew our hearts by saying "Repent (seek forgiveness) for the Kingdom of God is near. When we listen and do as Jesus says we will find ourselves on our way back to our divine alignment and assignment in God. With this message, Jesus continues to remind us that home is not as far as we think.
