The Full Permeation of the Father's Reality...Into Ours

Wow post from Wayne Jacobsen's Blog a year ago

"It is so easy to mistake the distractions of this world for reality itself, when it is only an illusion. The real world is in Father's heart, where we've been invited to be at home in him in everything we do and in every circumstance that confronts us."

"Toward the end of the book he reminds us again that when we live in God's reality it permeates all that we do. It is just as spiritual to work on your car or decorate your house as it is to pray, gather with other believers or share his life with someone who is lost. When we live as his, his glory shines through our lives no matter what we might be doing at any given moment."

"I'm convinced we best demonstrate God's life when we are least aware of it. When we are trying too hard we are only acting and the world sees it instantly even if we don't. They are not looking for actors on a stage, but people who live God's reality in the simplicity of their lives. When we live deeply in him throughout each day he makes himself known in ways that will even surprise us. And it won't be fake or artificial because it comes from reality not pretense."
