[Discoveries] 01-08-07 The kingdom within

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*"... the kingdom of God is within you." -- Luke 17:21*/

On Christmas Day the presents are wrapped with care. Some have beautiful 
bows and ribbons, some are plainly wrapped. But the beauty of the 
outward package does not always predict the delight that will be 
produced by what is inside.

So also is the work of God. His most important work is hidden deep 
inside us. We look at each other and see the wrapping, and, most of the 
time, we can only guess what is inside. The scriptures tell us that the 
sons (the children) of God will be revealed. What does that mean? That 
means that the great work of God inside you and inside me will someday 
put on display. Our sins, our shame, our mistakes, our inadequacy will 
be swept aside by the wonder of His love, and who we truly are will be 
revealed.

To me this is a comfort. I'm sometimes misunderstood. More often I 
stumble, sin and make stupid mistakes. But the kingdom of God is within 
me. And His kingdom shall prevail.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
