In the beginning God.
God is Love.
The God of Love Created you
And me. Humanity.
He knit us together in mother's womb.
In His loving image he created us.
Male and female he created them.
Created by love.
Created in love.
Created to love.
Created to Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. And to love your Neighbour.
To be one with each other - one people with one God - ONE KINGDOM.
The kingdom of God has always been
But deep inside this kingdom of Love another raised its head.
Like black oily sludge from blue ocean depths an evil kingdom surfaced.
A kingdom of pride.
A kingdom where self rules and love is mocked.
In the vast ocean of God's Love a kingdom of evil bubbled to the surface and began to spread.
It broke trust and shattered love
Man against wife
Brother against brother
And all against God
Love was reframed as weakness
As this kingdom of sludge darkened the earth.
Self was crowned king.
The kingdom of God has always been
And in a battle of wills, love always wins
Because love plays the long game
And the God of Love, the King of Kings
Had a plan. To become a man.
He walked our sludge strewn streets
And showed that Love still rules
By humbling himself
By offering himself
He defeated death.
He Repelled the Kingdom of Pride
Showing it for what it really is
With one act of Love so pure
That all sludge lost its stick
All pride lost is shine
And death lost its sting.
The kingdom of God has always been
But now we see it for what IT is
A Kingdom of love that embraces all
No matter the amount of sludge
Stuck to those still stuck in sin
God is Love and welcomes all in
Because His love knows no bounds
And His Kingdom knows no end.
