Mid day coffee break with me? ☕
✨✨✨
This SundayX I'm exploring a topic that has been on my mind more lately and chatter about it on X is also picking up:
The Kingdom of God is within you!
All of you!!
Please hear me out, I'm just sharing my perspective. ✨🙏🏼✨
I'm not passing myself off as a teacher, preacher or anything of the sort. I read a lot and always learning. With this comes a lot to ponder and as an introvert, this is something I truly enjoy.
While I love reading about and understanding other religions and philosophies, I know a little about Western Christianity beliefs because it's predominant in North America where I was born, grew up, raised a family and live. For this reason, I mostly speak and write in this vein when I write on matters of faith while respecting varying beliefs of those around me.
Continually, I'm looking for common ground.

The Parable of the Pearl of Great Value
(Matthew 14: 45-46)
45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.
Take a minute and let it sink in...
We are all born with a pearl of great price embedded within each of us. Everyone.
We were all born with access to the Kingdom of God.
It's been there all along for our discovery and entry.
This exquisite gem is only found with an inward journey.
Think of this pearl like a portal to the Kingdom of God.
Where Christ resides.
Accessed with a remorseful humble heart and confessing Christ is Lord, we can grow beyond all those things that create havoc in our lives. Not a ticket to smooth and glassy seas, but it's Christ's presence in the Kingdom of God within us, and our living and moving and having our being in Him that makes all the difference.
Good news!!! No one can take it from you either unless you sell your birthright. Even if you did, I believe the heart that wants to reconcile can access it again. 💞
Yeshua spoke in parables.
This dumbfounded the Pharisees, but his disciples and followers understood them because they had already accessed this pearl of great price within themselves— the Kingdom of God within. (Luke 17: 21)
Just like our ancestors have over the ages and just like we can today and future generations can tomorrow.
It's always been within us, institutions have taught us and led us in outward pursuit.
It's time to seek the Kingdom within.
May this truth come alive in you and you feel it in your bones. ✨🙏🏼✨
Thanks for reading my perspective on our Heavenly Kingdom within.
If you are inclined, I would love to hear your perspective.
Much love ✨💞✨
