So, here's the tension!

I know this might not seem like the most relevant topic to everyone in the world, but I want to talk about eschatology. A professor of mine in college said that it is the tension between the "already" and the "not yet" of God's Kingdom. Honestly I feel the "not yet" much more than the "already". The "already" part is where we feel God's power in everyday life. It is living with the realization that I am a part of something much bigger than myself- that I can play a role in God's divine plan for the universe. However, I feel much more immersed in the "not yet" part of it right now. I feel like God's Kingdom WILL come and His will SOMEDAY WILL be done, but maybe not today. . .
I get discouraged when I think of how I want to be participating in something amazing, but just feel like there's something preventing me- something paralyzing me from moving. "It will be too hard." "I won't have the resources." "I will be in over my head, and won't have the support for the overwhelming need."
I want to realize that although I can't experience the FULLNESS of God's glory today (not yet), I can (already) be fully alive and engaged in God's will and fulfilling His purposes.
