Kingdom of God... It's warm here..

If there was a servant in a warm castle in dead of winter, and I am freezing traveler in the snow outside his doorstop, he might invite me in to warm myself by the fire in an inner room. But I, looking through his open doorway, would see no fire, but only the fireless outer room, and I would have to trust his promise that I could get warm 'if I only stepped inside', judging the legitimacy of that promise on the basis of characteristics about him--the fact that he was not dressed heavily for the cold, that his hands actually felt warm, that he SEEMED to radiate honesty, and that he could make descriptive statements about the fire.

If I insisted that I would not take that first step into the castle until I could actually SEE the fire in the inner room, I would obviously have to stay in the cold…

Of course, if his hands were COLD instead of warm, he was shivering, and he was dressed in heaviest furs, I would suspect duplicity, and be wise to take my chances with the snow and wolves, than with a fellow human with dishonesty in his heart, leading me into who-knows-what treachery…

I feel a little like the servant in that story…I am very, very warmed by the Fire but am limited to sharing with you the warmth of my hands, my 'non-verbal' expressions, the way I dress, and the grossly insufficient language to describe such a robust thing as a fire…

Ini hanya illustrasi buat Kerajaan Tuhan Jesus Christ... We will always invite u in with warm welcome...

Once you're comfortable with your innerself (independent), only then you can start helping each other (interdependent)
