I appreciate clearness which gives anyone who reads you a distinct advantage over those who do not read.

Every day God gives me a word after saying the Lord’s prayer and sometimes a vision! Today the word was “make believe”. I was very moved by the way you handeled this topic. I was asking God? What am I making believe about? and Does this have anything to do with the relationship I am in or think I am in? Well it was very amazing that the Lord said to me all the running away from truth or the confronting situations and having to know what is going on was replaced by a peace of a “quiet stillness” and rest in Him… Without God’s grace I would never understand anything nor would I ever hope to see clearly! The smoke and mirrors of life turns our heads to the want to have to’s or else beleiving in the make believe of the battle that stands in front of us (FEAR, False Evidence Appearing REal) versus the beautiful reality of a dream of believing in what we don’t see! And the Love we experience as a result helps us to be better than we ever were before knowing that the closer we are to our Lord and Savior the more “clearly” we see!!!!
p.s. send me some scripture to back this up please.. make believe = world… reality = God’s kingdom the things we do not see but believe with all our hearts!

Thanks for this. It’s very concise, efficient. Nails the important points without getting wordy and you’re not getting all impressed with your own flowery language, a vice that detracts somewhat from, for one example, C.H. Spurgeon’s work sometimes. I needed this reminder. Also, it helps me to word things to others who need this reminder, in, as I say, more concise language than I might have been able to come up with.
As a result of reading this, I’m intending to check out the rest of the site. God bless you.
