Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. --The Bible
I'm reminded again this morning of that admonition that we must seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and then all our wants that masquerade as our needs will be ours.
I wonder if finding the kingdom of God isn't realizing His righteousness? And if realizing His righteousness doesn't send "all these things" packing?
I tend to think of the kingdom of God as love. I can't imagine truly realizing the love of God and just holding it close...savoring, never sharing. That has to be an impossibility.
Having been awakened to the full knowledge and feeling of that love, why...how?...could we desire any other thing? I know from experience that when I am feeling love...incoming/outgoing...I know no want. I feel complete, at peace, and I want...no, I need...for others to feel the same. Loved. Loving.
In that light, there is naught else.
Thank you.
