The Kingdom Within

Dear Lord JC,

Years ago the idea 'the kingdom of God is within you' crosssed my consciousness and I remember somebody ( I still remember who) countering that the idea was not biblical. Funny the way a negative or unsupportive response makes one doubt oneself and one's mind....so the idea went afloat for years and I sort of did not make much of the idea, although I liked it. This morning as I was watching Preacher in Blue Jeans on the net and the speaker(Bro. Arun Gogna ... funny guy) emphasized to the audience the God is everywhere and that we in fact are in the presence of God anywhere .... we just have to remind ourselves of the fact to consciously be aware of God's presence. Well then, I thought, God's presence is certainly within me and I have been inviting God to dwell in me, in the deepest recesses of my being and I believe He is ... Ergo the Kingdom of God is within me, because I am in the presence of God anywhere I am and that includes within me ... So there .... Joyful day it is ... I really don't know why I allowed myself to be in the dark and doom and gloom for so long ... Well, not anymore ...Welcome to the sunshine and abundance and exuberance and happy adventures and my dreams coming true in my life. Thank You, Father God, Lord Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit !
