Imagine a world in which people

  • Treat others as they themselves would like to be treated
  • Love God with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength
  • Love their neighbors as themselves
  • Make peace, banish war
  • Show mercy to others
  • Hunger and thirst for righteousness
  • Treat others they meet, especially “the least of these” as they would treat God

This kind of blessed community is the vision Christ’s teachings show us. And this vision can become reality – more visible in the world – through our work and our prayers, as we try to build God’s kingdom on earth using the vision of Jesus as our guide.

Consider drawing… When drawing, whether from life or from the imagination, I see and envision our world in a new way. When I see in a new way, I open myself to change and to making change in the world. With a vision for our world, I seek guidance from God about where to begin. I hear: “Believer, draw nearer to Christ.” And as I draw nearer to God’s Beloved Son, I become ready to see and step into God’s astounding plan for my life.
