The Power Of Not Accepting Reality

Wednesday, January 13, 2021

People often say, "You have to be a realist. It's fine to have faith and dreams but ultimately you have to be a realist." But in God you don't have to be a realist. In fact, you shouldn't be a realist. We're supposed to be like God; God isn't a realist. God doesn't just accept things as they are, nor does He limit Himself by the reality of the world. He made the world when it didn't exist. If He was a realist, He would've just looked at the situation and accepted it. He would have said, "Well there's no light and we just have to accept that." But He didn't - because He's not a realist. He said, "Let there be light!" And there was light. In the same way, if you call yourself a child of God then you also cannot be a realist, nor be bound by what is real. You're not called to accept the world; you're called to change the world. So whenever you're faced by a situation of darkness, don't accept it. Say, "Let there be light!" And there will be light. For God is your father, and your Father is no realist!
