The Vision and the Reality

...We have to learn to live in reliance upon what we saw in the vision, not simply live in ecstatic delight and conscious reflection upon God. This means living the realities of our lives in the light of the vision until the truth of the vision is actually realized in us. Every bit of our training is in that direction. Learn to thank God for making His demands known.

Isn’t it piercing to realize that God not only knows where we live, but also knows the gutters into which we crawl!
