Once there was a farmer in Finland. When they were drawing up the Russian-Finnish border, the farmer had to decide whether he wanted to be in Russia or Finland. After a long time he said he wanted to be in Finland, but he didn't want to offend the Russian officials. They came to him and wanted to know why he wanted to be in Finland. The farmer replied, "It has always been my desire to live in Mother Russia, but at my age I wouldn't be able to survive another Russian winter."
Anthony DeMello in his book Awareness
When you cross over the border from Kansas to Missouri can you tell? If you are walking in the wilderness of North Dakota and cross over into Canada, how would you know? If Jesus straddled our human border between Israel and Jordan would he know it? Would he care? We humans draw lots of lines.... Jesus erases them and takes people in.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
