Friday Food is just a little something to encourage you along the way. Looking for more inspiration? View the entire Friday Food series here.
Welcome to Friday Food! A little bit of food for your soul…every Friday. For the next few months, we are looking at “Downloads from Heaven”. In these “downloads” we are contemplating what it would be like if we got a message from God (however you understand God). We will be exploring messages from God about pain and suffering and healing and blessing and love and peace other topics too! When you read these “downloads” you will notice that they are in quotes. This is to help you think from your heart NOT your head. Don’t get caught up in whether or not God, (however you understand God) actually said these things. Just let them speak to your heart. I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. Here is today’s download:
I Am Here Now
I Am Here Now 
I Am Here NowI Am Here Now”I am here now. So, don’t spend your time looking for me or expecting me at some time in the future. I am with you now busy working in and through you for the fulfillment of all things. Your salvation is now, your hope is now, your redemption is now. Therefore, live fully in the present moment and believe that all is well. Work and pray to remove the barriers to my kingdom which is already present. The things that blind you to my reality are injustice, greed, pride, an unwillingness to forgive, and anger just to name a few things. Above all, remember, I am already at work in the world and I invite you to participate with me in making the kingdom of love, joy, and peace known. Thank you for your help. I love you.”
Some of us have been taught by the institutional church that we are to live for some future when God(however you understand God) will “save”, “redeem”, or “make everything perfect”. This is a control mechanism and is not true. God (however you understand God) has already accomplished all of those things. Our task is to remove the barriers in our own lives so that we can live this “new” reality. The Kingdom of God is here now and it is the kingdom of love, joy, and peace. How do you stay connected to this kingdom? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
