Never Ending

I have heard it lately.. the last few days... people mentioning how there is a slight fear that the current outpourings will end.... recognition that this questioning is from the enemy but where is the opening for such a belief to be planted in..... I have been thinking about this all morning... I understand the hunger for the presence.... the desire to have Heaven kissing Earth... the thought that comes to mind is that isn't this always happening...... every day and every moment....... is it naivete to think that... or is it faith... do I have to see it to believe it or is it always there for me to step into ... for me to breathe.... the Kingdom is stronger than any moment or meeting(obviously) and it never ends......
I look out my window as I sit and write this and there is a breeze in the trees.... we can not see the wind but we know it is there when the trees move....... so when we move into the Father's activity can we then see Him more clearly......
I think there is an important aspect of the Kingdom to ponder and reflect upon.... is it not always even a less than a mere breathe away..... as incredible as it is to see the manifestation of our Home on Earth... we must always truly rejoice in the fact that it is stronger than anything ....more permanent than anything ... and our Kingdom home will go on and on and on....
Our Father's house will never falter and it will never fail... it will always go on and it will be established for all to see.....

One of my Favorite Narnian Quotes...

“One word, Ma’am,” he said, coming back from the fire; limping because of the pain. “One word. All you’ve been saying is quite right, I shouldn’t wonder. I’m a chap who always liked to know the worst and then put the best face I can on it. So I won’t deny any of what you said, even so. Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things – trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that’s a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We’re just babies making up a game, if you’re right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world that makes you real world hollow. That’s why I’m going to stand by the play-world. I’m on Aslan’s side even if there isn’t any Narnia. So, thanking you kindly for our supper, if these two gentlemen and the young lady are ready, we’re leaving your court at once and setting out in the dark to spend our lives looking for the Overland.

A Brilliant Quote from Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,

but that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?"

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightening about shrinking

so that others won't feel unsure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It is not just in some of us; it is in every one.

As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
