Kingdom of the Now and Not Yet, Part V

Finally, the fifth thing that living in the kingdom now and not yet is that "we do not have to carry around the baggage of our past.  We can give up our sins to Jesus and find in him the courage to sort out and deal with our hang-ups."

What stands between you and God?  What stands between you and someone else?  Are you willing to allow God to remove it?  Will you let go of the grudge?  Will you forgive yourself? 

It's hard - in fact, I think it might be impossible at times.  God makes things possible that are actually impossible.  What we cannot forgive, God can lift away.  The requirement is that we allow it.

God will do it today, right now, in the kingdom that is now.  God will do it to prepare us for the kingdom that is not yet.  God will even work with us from the moment into the future because sometimes it takes that long.

God is willing.
