Security Crisis & the Reign of God

Amidst these past few years of national security crises, and this past week of financial upheaval and insecurity, I can't help but think:

All we need is a little more love in this world.

With love comes trust, and when we begin to trust again - ourselves, our neighbors, even eventually our enemies or those we disagree with - we will no longer need to find security in our wealth, our nation, our ill-conceived wars or military might. We will find security and solace in the One who first loved us, and continues to love us, and will never stop loving us.

As many a theologian rightly asserts, God's economy is not based on scarcity, but on abundance. In a world of abundance, we will not simply live sustainably, but in perfect harmony. Others call it the Reign of God.

How are you bringing about the Reign of God today?
Rephrased:
How have you loved or trusted someone today?
