Get Real! Welcome to the kingdom of heaven!
September 22, 2013A question that was posed at the very beginning of a talk at Principia College in which the speaker shared some thoughts about how students might pray about the transition to the “real world” has really shifted my thinking about these experiences:
What do you consider reality?
Arresting isn’t it?!? What do you consider reality? Is it sin, sickness, disease, death, fear, doubt, frustration, blame, addiction, guilt, sadness, dishonesty, violence, deceit, famine, judgment, war, poverty, pain, discord, weakness, imperfection and sensuality?
OR do we hold innocence, health, wholeness, life, freedom, confidence, encouragement, forgiveness, dominion, humility, joy, honesty, peace, integrity, fullness, acceptance, peace, abundance, ease, strength, harmony, perfection and purity – the kingdom of heaven – as what is real and true?
