SEEING THE KINGDOM

When you look at the world, do you see a microcosm of the kingdom of God? Do you see chaos and confusion, and a never-ending array of problems? Do you see who you yourself can become? God's kingdom is like a tapestry that is woven intricately, laboriously, one thread at a time, and one person at a time, into the masterpiece that God designed it to be. It does not instantaneously manifest, though we ourselves are instantly transformed from spiritually dead to spiritual alive when the Holy Spirit Of God enters us. We then must submit to the master weaver, allowing ourselves to become interwoven in a manner that completes our section of God's masterpiece.
