“To have Faith in Christ means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice. Thus if you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way. Not doing these things in order to be saved, but because He has begun to save you already. Not hoping to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you.” ― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity I believe that God has imparted his glory and love and wisdom, truly his kingdom, to you. This was already done when, as the bible says, you were made in the image and likeness of God. It is all within you and just waiting for you to allow this essence to assert itself, to guide your life in ways that are beautiful and beyond imagination. The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, See here! or See there! For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:20
