The Kingdom of God is like standing on your head and
seeing
the world upside down. It is seeing things differently.
It is
seeing things the way God apparently sees them.
God, according to Jesus, sees greatness in
small
people and things and actions, in the seemingly
insignificant
people and events we tend to overlook. God is
looking for
justice and fairness and peace. One Bible scholar
says that
Your Kingdom Come should be translated "Set
the
world right."

Finding Our Way
We may be able to find our own way with persistent
prayer
or with our God-given intuition, or we may not know
what to
do. But even if we become lost in ourselves, we are
never
lost in God. There is always a way home, and God will
keep
nudging us along until we find it.

Nearer to God
Just as when we approach God, strife and bitterness
cease,
and we come closer to our brethren, so too when we
seek to
understand the heart of our brethren, narrowness
and
selfishness vanish, and we may come nearer to God.
