Our true identity is that we are God's children.
It is from that perspective--from God's perspective--that we perceive the world. We are called to see the world as God sees it; that is what theology is all about. Therefore, we are continually diagnosing the illusory quality of anything outside this perspective.
--Henri Nouwen from The Road to Peace
The more we are in God, the more Real we get. Anything outside of God is fading, it is illusive, it is an illusion. What is Real is what is eternal, lasting and true. Anything that is Real is in God.
We become more Real the more we know God, live in God, and breathe God into our being. Our own illusions and false selves begin to fade.
Today:
what is an illusion in me that am trying to nail down as who I really am?
what is solid, Real, and lasting in me that is True Identity?
