Thought For The Journey
When we think about the kingdom of God, it is good to remember what one Master Teacher, Jesus of Nazareth, taught: "The kingdom of God is not coming with things that can be observed, ... for, in fact, the kingdom of God is within you."
These thoughts from Saint Isaac of Nineveh speak volumes to me: "Be at peace with your own soul, then heaven and earth will be at peace with you. Enter eagerly into the treasure house that is within you, you will see the things that are in heaven; for there is but one single entry into both. The ladder that leads to the Kingdom is hidden within your soul... Dive into yourself, and in your soul you will discover the stairs by which to ascend."
A Prayer: Keep teaching me to examine my inner core when I am listening for your heavenly voice, God. Amen.
