Whose Reality?

I was having tea with a friend tonight and the topic of
“realityâ€� came up. I was sharing that  since I’ve been back I have been asked the question by a few people, “When you will be coming back into
reality?�

And so we chatted about that.

           What is reality?

                       Who defines it?

What reality am I being asked to “come into”?
                                                          What is my current reality?

As I tried to put words to my reality, my friend answered with a bold statement…. 

“Megan you have seen, experienced, and lived more
“reality� than most of us.
You have seen and lived with the starving, the
dieing, the kids on the streets, the prostitutes….Your life has been affected
with a friend dieing of Malaria. You have faces, names, and stories. I can’t begin to think of reality from your perspective but I know its more real than anything here.â€�

As her words washed over me, it hit me.

The Kingdom of God is my
reality.

Life. Healing. Hope. Abundance. Faith. Freedom. Salvation. Deliverance.
Victory.

 

That is REAL.
THAT is my reality. 
And that is where I plan to live the rest of my life…. 

In the Kingdom of Heaven.
It IS here on earth.
