If we stand away from the world as we know it and look with fresh eyes, seeking the heart of God to become our heart as well, what will we discover? Will we enjoy the same things, will we not care about the same things, will we be as flippant and careless as we are, will we laugh so much at others or be so complacent in our own lives? Will our hearts convict us or approve us? Will we find our smiles filled with God or with the world? Will we find that we truly are intimate with God--or will we find we are living a lie?

Thanks for the post - and the reminder!
