JOURNAL/THE LATCH IS ON THE INSIDE


“”For behold-the KINGDOM of God is WITHIN YOU” Luke 17:21


Are you like me? Have you looked for God in this place or that? Have you run from church to church looking for God?


Jesus says “NO”-LOOK WITHIN yourself-look within your heart-DEVELOP a personal relationship with Jesus-it is THERE that you WILL FIND God


WE SEE the KINGDOM within-WHEN we respond to someone with KINDNESS and GENTLENESS
-we see the kingdom WITHIN when we move to TREAT others with COMPASSION and CHARITY and NOT JUDGMENT-LOOK WITHIN-the KINGDOM of God is AS CLOSE as our own hearts


it is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in God's LOVE for us and a great day to FIND GOD living WITHIN our own hearts








THE LATCH IS ON THE INSIDE




In the 22^nd chapter
Of Saint Matthew’s Gospel
Jesus again---tells us a story
He tells us
That the Kingdom of God
Is like a wedding banquet


How many of you
Like going to the weddings
Of your relatives or friends


Getting all dressed up in your Sunday best
Having a fancy dinner
Listening to music
Just having an evening of fun and relaxation


I know I do


So Jesus sends his servants out
To invite everyone to the wedding
But they all decided to do other things


They even kill the servants
And the king becomes enraged


The Kingdom of God
Is like that


There is an open invitation to us all


So the King sends out his servants again
And they bring in everyone they could find


Both good and bad off the streets


“But when you give a banquet
Invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind
And you will be blessed
Although they cannot repay you
You will be repaid
At the Resurrection
Of the righteous” Luke 14 13 & 14


So always remember
We are invited in to God’s Kingdom
We are ALL chosen by God
Whether or not we accept this invitation
Or not
Is up to us
