In his fullness and completeness, he was overflowing with dreams of good. And the most creative inventions and mysteries would pass before Him all the time, nothing ever occurred to Him, but still he was overflowing with all that was good. His nature was to give and release what was in his heart, but he had no vessel to pour all his heart into.
One day he had the best and riskiest Idea of all time. He dreamed of a perfect home for his limitless heart. He couldn’t shake this Idea, it continued to come to him and he felt like he would explode if He didn’t give birth to this dream. He would create something that had never been created before, a perfect kingdom that would reflect all his creativity, love, and nature. He spent himself on this masterpiece.
He made his kingdom perfect in every single way. Nothing was lacking in any single way. It was through and through a mystery. Not unchanging, but changing in the same direction, in the same way.
The great king established his Kingdom by pouring it into our hearts! Just like him we would be blessed with the same dilemma. We, bursting with dreams, love and creativity are longing to release what we are as well. Each of us is an essential piece of the Kingdom. In our true heart, being who and what we really are, we have within us the Kingdom of God. This is the dream of the King, that we would come alive and manifest His Kingdom by loving others with what we have set within us.
It is set up that we would prosper at the benefit of others. That in releasing what is set within us we would be a light and encouragement to others. We all long for the Kingdom to come, but it is here, set within us. This Kingdom is not birthed by the will of God, but by faith in God and what he HAS DONE, through Christ.
Jesus said,” Don’t you know the Kingdom of God is within you?”
Believer, do you think the Kingdom is meant to stay within you?
The Kingdom of God is not church. The Kingdom of God is the Hearts of individuals who go to church and who don’t go to church.
Jesus came to heal our broken hearts and set us free. Set us free to what? To live from our true hearts in faith, to dream and place value on the hearts and lives of others who happen to be in our lives.
True life is evangelical.Evangelism without life is not as effective as true life without evangelism. The King of Hearts speaks and moves through us in ways we cannot comprehend. He is in our dreams and our true desires, for they were first His.
The Kingdom of Hearts is all about value, all about love and service; taking your dream and pouring your love and value into those who you serve, in doing so we serve God. “How did we serve you?” “Whatever you did even to the least of these you did unto me!”
Selfishly dream, selflessly carry out the dream. Unless you selfishly dream you won’t come close to the God given desires he has placed within you. Your true dreams will feel selfish, because they are so close to your true heart.
We long for the Kingdom of God. The King longs to see it released. One day it will BE in all His glory. The Kingdom of God isn’t about keeping all the rules; it is about ruling all we keep hidden. Release your true wealth. Hearts are dying for this. Your heart is dying for this.
Isn’t risky to dream and to live life from your heart? Yes, it is. It is risky and it is messy in this darkness that surrounds us to be a light, but who ever said that playing it safe and risking nothing is Godly or Kingly? The King is not King because of what he is not, neither are we Like the King because of what we are not!
