The time is fulfilled, and the realm of God has come near;
repent, and believe in the good news.
—Mark 1.15
…In other words…
Turn and look: the glory is all around you.
Let go and trust: the promise is already kept.
Open your mind and see a new world unfolding.
God is re-ordering the world. Align yourself with a New Way.
This is God’s world. Trust it. Stop being so isolationist and belong.
Surrender and give yourself in love. A new realm of compassion awaits you.
Come back and fall in love again. The Beloved is crazy for you.
Renounce your prejudice. Give your heart away. Join the new world of justice.
You live in God’s empire. Change your loyalty and re-orient your compass.
Open your eyes. See what is happening. God is creating the world all over.
Step out of your fantasies. Return to the present moment. God is in it.
This moment is holy. Surrender your anxieties and trust the mystery.
God is here. Let your life continually changed by goodness.
