Dear Friends,
What is reality? “Reality TV” has been popular for years now. What is our obsession with watching others “live”? Their “reality” is not our reality. Reality for a Christian is knowing that regardless of our circumstances, God is with us. Through prayer, our bond with Christ grows so that we are keenly aware of His presence each and every day. Christians are tuned in to Christ, in other words. As we practice tuning out the world, our reality is focused on that which can not been seen, but only felt through the Holy Spirit. This is faith. Practiced. Lived. And tested each and every day. May you feel His presence today. Hugs and Love, Scott

I Am Nearer than you think, richly present in all your moments. You are connected to Me by Love-bonds that nothing can sever. However, you may sometimes feel alone, because your union with Me is invisible. Ask Me to open your eyes, so that you can find Me everywhere. The more aware of My Presence, the safer you feel. This is not some sort of escape from reality; it is tuning in to ultimate reality. I am far more Real than the world can see, hear, and touch. Faith is the confirmation of things we do not see and the conviction of their reality, perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses.
Acts 17:27-28 27God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. 28‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
Hebrews 11:1 (AMP) 1NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].
