More From Soren Kierkegaard

Seek first the kingdom of wealth and you'll worry over every dollar. seek first the kingdom of health and you'll sweat every blemish and bump. seek first the kingdom of popularity, and you'll relive every conflict. seek first the kingdom of safety, and you'll jump at every crack of the twig. but seek first his kingdom and you will find it. on that, we can depend and never worry.

Everything comes by being! be the love you seek. be the friend you seek. be the lover you seek. be the honesty you seek. be the integrity you seek. be the patience you seek. be the tolerance you seek. be the compassion you seek.
Honesty Integrity Love You
Revelation need not all come at once. it may be incremental. 'saith the lord god: i will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth i will give more' (2 nephi 28:30). patience and perseverance are part of our eternal progression.
Perseverance Children Blessed
All good things require effort. that which is worth having will cost part of your physical being, your intellectual power, and your soul power—‘ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.’ (matt. 7:7.) but you have to seek, you have to knock. on the other hand, sin thrusts itself upon you. it walks beside you, it tempts you, it entices, it allures. you do not have to put forth effort. … evil seeks you, and it requires effort and fortitude to combat it. but truth and wisdom are gained only by seeking, by prayer, and by effort.
Prayer Hands Evil
It is often said in the bible that god spake unto moses, but how do you know that god spake unto moses? because, you will say, the bible says so. the koran says, that god spake unto mahomet, do you believe that too? no. why not? because, you will say, you do not believe it; and so because you do, and because you don't is all the reason you can give for believing or disbelieving except that you will say that mahomet was an impostor. and how do you know moses was not an impostor?
Believe Giving Why Not
The kingdom of god is available to you in the here and the now. but the question is whether you are available to the kingdom. our practice is to make ourselves ready for the kingdom so that it can manifest in the here and the now. you don't need to die in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. in fact, you have to be truly alive in order to do so.
