Those summer days...yes, i still have the memories of the summer vacation so VIVID and so energizing, it is a stock of happiness, freedom, joy that i go back to when the times get tough back in the real world (work, responsibilities, bills, etc). Thx fadi abinader myriam hany and all sunrise group for making a nice summer 2013!
This brings me to a realization that summer holiday didnt start end of july when i had my first day off...it started looonger than that..it started in me, in my mind, my talks and my thoughts as early as February or March..i started living the beach while i was still wearing my pullover and putting the heat on in the car during these cold mornings, we got the suntan lotions, the beach toys, the afternoon flavored tea we ll drink sa3et el 3assaary. We kept talking about our destination, deciding where to go, which hotel, reading reviews, checking booking.com, expdia, lonely planet, 3am 3abdo el bawab...we seek info and feedback everywhere and with everyone...why? Because we lived the vacation in our hearts already and wanted to know more about our destination..we wanted a guarantee of perfection..we even booked some restaurants few months ahead!!! I guess we are not the only ones doing so! Reviews website didnt flourish out of nothing...
This made me wonder: am I thinking about my final destination as much as my summer 2013? Do i really go checking this big book with the reviews about what to come and what to prepare for this trip? Do i Live this destination on earth? If i care that much about 2 summer weeks, will i care the same about eternity? If i am willing to do the utmost to make my summer the best, why do i take for granted my destination? Above all, can i live Heaven NOW? If it doesnt tell me much reading and preparing my trip, then i need to check whether i do really wanna go there or not. Above all, Jesus said it plain and clear..heaven starts now in our hearts "Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He replied to them by saying:
The kingdom of God does not come with signs to be observed or with visible display, Nor will people say, Look! Here [it is]! or, See, [it is] there! For behold, the kingdom of God is within you [in your hearts] and among you [surrounding you]. (Luke 17:20, 21 AMP)"
Living Kingdom of God now, brought me to this amazing praise song made by my dear blessed friends (chantal, otta, steve) thanks for the inspiration to live this realtionship! Have a great Sunday!
