Ushering in the Kingdom

“Hell is a matter of everyday life, like the Kingdom of God. The choice is yours.”

― Thich Nhat Hanh, You Are Here: Discovering the Magic of the Present Moment

_________________________________________________________________

It is our choice really

We can create hell on earth

Or we can work to usher in the Kingdom of God

We can hate, or love

We can be bitter, or forgive

We can shame the poor, or reach out to them in love

We can tear others down, or build them up

We can hoard or give

It is easy to stoke the fires of hell

But is it equally easy to draw the Kingdom of God into

This moment

It just depends on how we choose to live
