What's your rank?

It is one of the goals of every soldier. Rank yes they work and train to move forward in rank. It is funny how we all do the same thing. Yeah maybe not in the same way, but we do it! If I just get that house, if I am able to purchase that blouse, I am able to go to this event or if I can hang out with these people I am in! I can't imagine how it would feel if God showed up in the midst of it all? Turn from your sins and turn to God, because the Kingdom of Heaven is near. The Kingdom of Heaven is God! Take time to evaluate what is truly important in your life, God? Family? Friends? Things? People? Sacrifice? Forgiveness? We have been given the greatest gift of Love and Grace maybe we should pay it forward more and work for our life less? God wants us to bring the Kingdom of Heaven near, He wants us to bring it to the Earth cause eventually He will! What is your rank and how important is rank to you?

That was really good! It's so easy to get caught up in all of that and in doing so you can loose sight of what is really important! Thanks for sharing!

alright, so for the last several weeks, i've been studying this whole concept of the kingdom of heaven and how it applies and affects the here and now and i have come across some just phenomenal & provoking material on this subject and how one day God will come and dwell with his people and how the kingdom of heaven will break loose and all the things we've been holding onto or fighting for or jockeying for and all else will be exposed for what it is.

i have a feeling that you and i are on much of the same track - looking forward to spending some time with you in Feb.
