“I hope you’ve met at least one ‘Kingdom person’ in your life. They are surrendered and trustful people. You sense that life is okay at the core. They have given control to Another and are at peace, which paradoxically allows them to calmly be in control. A Kingdom person lives for what matters, for life in its deepest and lasting sense. There’s a kind of gentle absolutism about their lifestyle, an inner freedom to do what they have to do—joyfully.… Kingdom people are anchored by their awareness of God’s love deep within them and deep within everyone else, too.”
-Richard Rohr in Jesus’ Plan for a New World: The Sermon on the Mount
