An element to the Kingdom of God that I just love is the newness of which we are given and expected to live.
From the world clock, we age. From the Kingdom clock we un-age. Churchism has played a part in aborting the Kingdom clock. We have traded adventure for tradition, risk for routine, and impossibilities for calculated effort. We have taken a grand wonder and dumbed it down to be nothing more than another place of endurance when it has always been intended to be a movement of mysterious glory.
Only in the Kingdom does one grow young. Born again does not put us simply into a new start. No, it thrusts us into a, You've not experienced anything like this before...yet! Our first life gained momentum only to ultimately wind down with time. Robust energy eventually evolved into wrinkles. Yet, this path is only restricted to the flesh side of us.
There is another life for us; the wonderful spirit side. It is here where we thrive with heart and hope. It isn't Pretendville. Rather it is Truth City. Regardless of the count in body years, the inner person is actually new day by day. This is why one will say something like, Well, I'm 72, but honestly I feel like I'm 50. This is the verification that the body and the spirit are not in sync...and that the spirit portion of life truly is valid as it is perpetually inclined to be young...like in new right now.
Unage....it may not be a real word. But who cares as long as it is authentic truth?
