Colossians 1: 13-14 (NRSVA)
13 He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
The Kingdom of God is our home!
The Kingdom is not an escapist fantasy to make the present bearable — it is a heavenly reality that sustains us and is available to us right now even in the middle of life’s struggles.
How do we get our heads around the ‘now and not yet’ of the Kingdom, the fact that’s it’s both a home we live in and a home we long to see fully realised?
Prayer:
Dear God,
We home in on you
because we are at home with you
we want to make a home with you
as you re-home us
in a home sweet home
a home from home
for us wee homing pigeons
a dovecot for our souls.
Oh Lord, we long for home,
both homesick
and homecoming
feeling
oh Lord,
that’s it’s good to be home
Amen.
