In the Midst

The readings in church today celebrated Christ the King.  The message was to let Christ be our center.  The example was the Sistine Chapel's Last Judgement where right there in the middle- between heaven and earth, between angels and demons, between up and down is Christ.  The final judgement is the ultimate up or down, but we do experience ups and downs daily, and sometimes moment to moment, via outside circumstance as well as internal struggles.  The key is to see Christ in our midst, to view Christ, to focus on the Blessing through focusing on the Blessed King Himself... regardless of circumstance, regardless of feeling, mood or mindset.  There will be struggles and suffering.  There will be hardship and trial.  We were never promised easy.  But what matters in the end is this... Romans 5:3-8

A more abundant blessing can't be found.
