WOYWW: Let Your Kingdom Come!

My work space is relatively empty today

but that is because I have been in bed

since Thursday and all my mess is in my bedroom!!!!

I was reading The Lord's Prayer this morning,

"Our Father, who art in Heaven,

Hallowed be Thy Name,

Thy Kingdom come...."

(Luke 11:1-2)

What does that really mean?

I have memorized this prayer

since I was a little girl,

as have most of my readers,

I presume.

When we pray, "Thy Kingdom come,"

what are we really asking for?

In God's Kingdom, Heaven,

there is no sickness.

I have been confessing this verse

over and over again for my mother

who is sick and in need of a miracle.

In God's Kingdom, there is no fear, no anxiety.

Perfect love casts out ALL fear.

(1 John 4:18)

I am claiming this for my mother too,

and for all the family.

In God's Kingdom, we are all

His Sons and Daughters, inheritors

of His treasures, which is not subject to decay.

It will not rust, it cannot be stolen, it will not need dusting

or polishing or being brought to 

the cleaners or to the repair shop.

In God's Kingdom, there is no self pity,

there is no depression, no need for drugs like 

Proxeilicaine (I made that up!).

There is no envy, no poverty, only generosity.

There are no corrupt politicians,

no pedophiles, no murderers, no one who

"kills" even with one's thoughts or words.

No hurricanes and killer floods.

In God's Kingdom, it will be like Eden.

No pollution. Only beauty.

Sometimes we see glimpses of God's Kingdom 

here on earth.

We see how beautiful He made this earth to be

in some beautifully untouched place

in the mountains or at the beach

or even in a place filled with love!

We can bring God's Kingdom here on earth

as His hands, feet and mouth.

When we cast out fear for the future

we are more generous with what we have

and do not keep it all for ourselves.

When our conversation is not peppered

with gossip but full of encouragement and support

for each other, we bring His Kingdom down to earth.

Yes, Lord, let Your Kingdom come,

and let SOME of it COME

because of ME!
