I should record and remember all of his past faithfulnesses to me; of the times he has broken loaves and met my needs. In this way I remind myself that he is the God of creation, that he can still calm storms and make provision.

If I truly believe that Jesus is the Christ, then that has to move me to perceive him as all that matters and all that I need. He is all and in all

Now practically I still live in this world and live in this fleshly vessel, but to the extent that I can move myself into Christ I’ve become free of the world.  I can have family and occupations and interests, but leave them in God’s care and enjoy the freedom of that.  Free from anxiety, the opinions of others, choices of others, foolishness of leaders, I belong to Christ and I am hidden in him, with my eyes on him.  I hear his voice and I follow.
