Jesus affirms that the Kingdom of God is already among us. Today he invites us yet again to join in on what God is doing for all of creation.
But how do we give ourselves to a kingdom that cannot be seen? By striving to love all that we do see, and by longing to see what we do not see. If in ourselves or in any part of creation, we do not see justice, peace, or joy, our hearts full of longing can cry, “Thy Kingdom come!” And perhaps our eyes, our lips, and our hands full of love can join in on the work that God wants to do.
