The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

And we are invited to seek a different perspective, so that we might recognize it as a reality and live as if it were so.

This is what it means to repent, to go deeper –to seek the very roots of our sorrows and afflictions and to upturn them, to take them off, so that we might see with new eyes the wonders of His love. So that we might know that we are not separate individuals running the rat race of life, playing our own individual games, but that we are one with all, connected to the true vine, Jesus Christ. And so that we might abide, in our deepest and most vulnerable places, in this truth: we are seen, loved, and forgiven.

Repent, the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
