The Illusion Mystifies

We live a life of illusion seeking achievement, status, value, love and legacy. We desire a life built nobly by hard work, ingenuity and admittedly a little luck. Our hopes dangerously placed in the security of the temporary. We hold onto the majesty of our own will, the determination to be whom we choose, to become all we can imagine through mystified eyes. We Grasp for and awkwardly disperse the God given gifts and abilities that will assist US to this end. It's a fabrication of lies that creates within us the inability to be made glorious! A twisting of truth that chains our ambition to what is humanly seen. It's a self-built prison that demands we take responsibility for our humanness and find a way to remedy our own condition. The illusion mystifies us into trying and trying and trying... ugh. Stuck in a damaging, unintentional and futile attempt to take on the roll of God.

2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by
the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's
will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:2

God maintains the responsibility for our becoming. A given life is lived moment by moment as we choose to rely on our own trying or seek a life unveiled. His life fills the places in our being that we surrender, our hopes and dreams, our failings and damage. He awaits our seeking, patiently revealing to our hindered spirit His desire to complete us, His creation. His life comes flowing in and by association the Spirit of God transforms us from within. Our legacy lies within the flow of His life through us as the evidence of His glory. Yet, we blindly dwell in our doorless cell all the while missing a fearless exploration of a life unimagined, a promise of the miraculous. He's a freedom from the ordinary, the temporary, the illusion of life that mystifies us to a deadly complacency spinning it’s wheels in the trying. In this beautiful surrender we receive glimpses of reality seen through God's eyes, a continuous completion and revelation.

16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet
inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary
troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen
is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
