Welcome to the real world - Morpheus

“But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior.” Philippians 3:20 NLT

At first I'm thinking of the different mindset I have of people. and the updates I have to get for technology. I'm tired this morning. We've been told by Daycare that Shayne is on a growth spirt, so she's eating and sleeping a lot. She'll be 3 next month. Sip some coffee, I read and think. I'm reminded of the line in the Matrix when Morphius says to neo, Welcome to the real world. The real world in the Matrix was the answer to the truth of why we as human beings, we feel so empty. Morpheus said " That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else you born in bondage. Into a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison for your mind." I read and think. I can only imagine what people think of my mind when they read my blogs. Here I've been doing this for almost a year. This is unlike anything I've ever done before, expounding on scripture just like I look through a view finder. But everyone thinks in a different way. How do I see life? I see it visually and in movies, and in experiences. Do I hold people back from God because he's mine? or do I introduce him to my friends? What is my fear? Truth? Lack of knowing everything? Morphius also told Neo "sooner or later your going to realize just as I did the difference between knowing the path and walking the path." I find myself not concerned about his return but leaving it to Him and his timing. I find myself trying to live every moment in obedience to His word. Its when being obedient is his calling to get others to wait for him too. It's his real world and seeing this place and everyone here through His eyes. In order to live in this real world I need to walk the path instead of just knowing it. I've been saved for a long time and get lazy and don't obey when I should. Hits me, things are going to happen in my life that will make me believe lies about who I am in Christ. I'll be trapped in my mind, then I'll get out. Morpheus was trying to free Neo's mind but could only show him the door. I get like that all the time, friends will show me the door and I walk passed because I'm too busy. God's my real world and is freedom even though I get comfortable with my thoughts, He's always waiting for me to show me more of Him everyday.
