The Really Real

You must not spend so much time analyzing and recording the details of your circumstances. Your real life does not consist of what you can see or are able to experience with your five senses. Your true life is hidden with Christ in God (Colossians 3:3, below). The difficulties you face are temporary inconveniences.

Dear One, you have spent much time describing in detail how you feel, but you have not inquired of the Lord. Now listen to the One whose grace is sufficient for you, for His power is made perfect in weakness (see 2 Corinthians 12:9).

You have been given freedom of choice over what you will allow into your mind. In this way, you are actually able to block the Almighty God, who is willing to help you.

You are able to hear His voice if you choose to do so.

Scripture: "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory" (Colossians 3:2-4).

Oh so good. Listen, listen, listen to the Lord. Don't just use our prayer time, our "worship," our thought life (which becomes our life acted out) to spew our litany of requests. This is such an excellent post!
