we exhorted each one of you
and encouraged you and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of
God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.
Beloved,
Your kingdom come...immediately leads you toward the divine
rather than any inclination toward human action.
Your Kingdom come...establishes that the divine purpose, to be
executed on earth is present now in heaven.
Your Kingdom come...draws us into intimate communion with God the
Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
Your Kingdom come...is to experience the fullness of God in
every area of your life.
Amen †
