I like your description of the Kingdom as the “here and not yet.” It is here unless darkness and sin of our own making dim it or shut it out … if we let it. If we are not vigilant. But even if and when I fail in vigilance, the kingdom is not lost but always surrounds me in the “not yet”. Thanks! Beautiful reflection! Have a Blessed All Saint Eve tonight and celebration tomorrow!
Beautiful! I can relate to this problem within us, so I loved your suggestion to be honest with the Holy Spirit and tell Him I can't do this, so you take over and do it through me! It takes the stress off and is comforting!

Thank you for your reflection!
And a blessed Hallowtide to you as well.
Yes, you are so right!

I see it as kind of like being able, in the moment, to act on the belief that he can do more than I can.
As I'm sure you've experienced, it's not always easy to remember in the moment!
