Luke 17:21—Once Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the
kingdom of God was coming, and he answered, “The kingdom of God is not coming
with things that can be observed; nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or
‘There it is!’ For, in fact, the kingdom of God is within you.”
The Holy Spirit has breathed life into each and every human
being, and His Holy Spirit dwells both among us and within us. God is love, so
it stands to reason that His kingdom is love.
When His kingdom comes, it will not be hailed with gold and treasures,
for the treasures of God are far more spiritual. We have the ability to welcome in the kingdom
of God every day when we choose to live by Jesus’ example. When we choose to love and forgive instead of
hating and judging. When we love others,
the kingdom of God comes alive. When we
forgive others, the kingdom of God comes alive.
The only power that can overcome evil is love because love is the only
thing evil does not have. So, if we want
to see the kingdom of God, all we have to do is open our hearts and minds to
love and forgiveness.
Today as you pray and meditate on His Word, praise God for
His unending love and mercy. Consider
your heart and release any negative feelings and resentments you’ve been
holding onto. Pray that you find the
ability to forgive others who have hurt you, and ask the Holy Spirit to guide
you in living love toward others. Pray
that God’s light would shine forth in you and through you so that others might
see the kingdom of God, too.
