The Kingdom Hearts series may be the “Reese’s peanut butter cups” of the video game world now, but there was a time that the serious nature of the Final Fantasy games getting mixed up with the slapstick antics of Mickey Mouse and his pals seemed doomed to fail. How could two franchises that could not have been more different merge to become one of the most celebrated series in all of gaming? It’s because both of these properties seamlessly combined to form something new… not as two separate entities trying to coexist in one game, but as one unified experience where both were so intertwined that we couldn’t even tell where one stopped and the other one started.

Jesus didn’t just come to earth to provide us with forgiveness for our sins… He came to enter into a relationship with each of us that would make us an entirely new creation. He isn’t an ingredient that we can simply add into our daily routine… abundant life with Christ means fully integrating Him into every aspect of our homes, hobbies, relationships, work, and school. The Lord isn’t interested in merely renting space in our hearts, He is seeking to be so intertwined in our every thought and action that there isn’t a place where we stop and His kingdom starts. Our walk with Christ isn’t a part-time collaboration, it’s a whole new way of living life… hand-in-hand with Him.

For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.  Luke 17:21b

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Galatians 2:20

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. John 15:4
