"Your kingdom come, your will be done" (Matthew 6:9)
I had blown a tire and was stuck on the side of the highway. Some men pulled up in a SUV and got out to help me change my tire. I was nervous until I noticed the guy with the "Jesus Saves" t-shirt. I figured that a rapist would most likely (though it is possible) not be wearing a "Jesus saves" shirt.
In that moment, when my shoulders relaxed, when I felt safe, I experienced the kingdom of heaven. When people choose to be kingdom creators, they are giving the world an incredible gift. They bring to the world such gifts as "love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control" (Galatians 5:22,23).
Who is answering Jesus' prayer for God's kingdom to be on this earth in your life?
