the kingdom of heaven is near

Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.'


Thank you, O Lord, for being so near today.

Perhaps we can imagine a time when we are invited to your banquet table, living and loving in the presence of Christ for all eternity.

Maybe we have heard your soft whisper, felt your hand on our shoulder when we needed a friend.

Perchance we saw you today, in the sunrise, the dancing treetops, the smile of a stranger.

Or it could be that today was a challenge, a chore, a tester... but for some unexplainable reason we have hope that tomorrow will be better.

The kingdom of heaven is near. Let us be the people who proclaim this good news.

Amen
