Give Us A King
I recently made a comment on my facebook status that went something like this:
“Why is it that Christians start talking about God being in control, only when their party isn’t?”

Its a stage we all go through I suppose.
A growing phase…some make it past the intial slow years and go on to maturity…others get to caught up in the gravitational pull of the drama on earth.True change only happens within – “the kingdom of heaven is within” not “without”.
Jesus sought, taught, and demonstrated “true change”. But even His disciples didnt get it.Paul got a hold on to something, which is greatly misunderstood by those not familiar with Judaic teachings…and John got it.
Well, the Beatles got it to…”all you need is love” – and Paul (the apostle, not the beatle now…
) has a nice definition of what that is.So, king to those who want to give their power away…results will always have the same end, even if its dressed up differently.
peace

I don’t fully understand your comment, but I appreciate your thoughts.
Though I would say that “all you need is love” doesn’t quite capture the holistic solution. But it’s part of it.
To simplify:
Jesus is our King. No other.

I wrote this several weeks ago. My grandpa died shortly after I wrote it. He’s in heaven. I’m not. It makes me sad.

Thanks for this. My uncle died a couple of weeks ago. He’s a believer, but it still makes me sad not to have him here. Reminds me of that song “Homesick.” ((hugs))

beautifully put Aanna. I always feel a jealousy and longing when I look at the “jar of clay” of a believer who is at that moment in the presence of God. I am reading the book “Heaven” by Randy Alcorn. It is so good to meditate on reality after death in this life and what God really wanted for us. Grandma still weeps and so do I, we miss him,
