Your kingdom come, Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.
Matthew 6:10 (AMP)
I truly believe that when we get to heaven, we shall be more aware of our own faults toward others than our resentment of their misgivings against us.
Instead of seeing a speck in someone else’s, we shall see the plank in ours. And oh, the gnashing of teeth when that happens!
For our eyes shall be opened.
And we shall see beyond the veils of our own pride.
And humility shall so powerfully grip upon our hearts. And it shall allow us to realize our own human frailty—our limited views and lofty opinions that only inflate nothing of ourselves but egos that lead to the demise of our souls and humanity.
For we shall see each other truly and realize that what we’re seeing in others’ eyes is a sheer reflection of ourselves.
When we look back on the days we have had on the land of the living, we shall see:
We have hated on earth because we ourselves have carried hate.
We have loved because we ourselves have possessed it.
We’ve been all other things in between because we ourselves have had them.
We shall be more indignant of ourselves for the hasty judgments we cast against each other; for the goodness we so missed capturing and doing while being on earth, and all the evil that we could have prevented. . . . Just because we were so self-centered and only thought of our hurts that we forgot we also caused pain to the brethren.
And so when we pray for “His Kingdom to come on earth as it is in Heaven,” the very first one to greet us at the gate shall be an awareness not of the faults of others but our own sin.
Just like Peter, we shall exclaim: depart from me, my Lord!
When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
Luke 5:8 (KJV)
When heaven truly invades our spaces, it comes with a price of real repentance. A down payment for His revival to sweep over.
And forgiveness becomes not a shallow performance but authentic obedience. In fact, it shall be a compelling act. The more you try to suppress it, the more it shall come out of you. It shall be so heavy of a burden. The words “I’m sorry” shall not be a mere compliance but a deep longing for reconciliation. Not out of self-serving motives, but out of a genuine connection.
And when that happens, authentic love shall abide. And healing shall truly come.
To each soul, to each nation, and to the earth.
