“I can’t imagine my father would be very proud that I gave up what he died for. I spent too long wanting what was taken from me and not what was given. I was given a kingdom. A people. I promise to be a better king.”
– Prince Caspian in the Voyage of the Dawn Treader
When I heard this quote, it was a zinger to my spirit. We are called to take dominion….to influence the world around us. We are called to infect the world with the healing virtue of the Kingdom of God. How often do we give up what Jesus died for in our lives? How often do we long for what has been taken from us instead of what is already freely placed before us? God’s Kingdom on Earth is to be made manifest through our stewardship of it. So He has given us the Kingdom. He has given us people to share that Kingdom with. Let’s fulfill that calling. Let’s take the platform God has given us, whatever it may be for each of us, and let’s run with it!
