Words worth sharing:

What if it's true;
what if the kingdom
of heaven is really within
every human being that lives
on this speck in the universe -
but only some realize it?

This would be radical.
This would be outrageous,
insane, and totally unbelievable
(in the best way possible).
This would be life-changing.
This would change everyone's
course of action on planet Earth.

So,
what if it's true?
Then I want to believe it.

I am dead. I am gone.
My life is hidden.
I am now alive in Christ Jesus.
He is my new life
in which I now live.
This body, these hands, these lips,
is it too scandelous
to say that they
do not belong to me?

Since I am now dead,
my selfish desires dead and gone,
I must look up
and set my heart on things above.
Not earthly things,
which fade and peel
and whither away.

Instead, on eternity,
which shines vibrant and new
and lively and sparkling-
more and more, everyday-
until forever. 

Glimpse of Heaven

Sometimes I get these
weird glances of the bigger picture.
It's like I see it all piecing together,
all the blessings, hardships.
everything.
They only last a  moment,
but they always give me hope
that You have me.
They end in beauty and security,
they end with me feeling
undeniably loved and cared for.

I love these moments.
