How many times have you said or heard someone say: “That person is just so real, I just love them!”

We all know that “Coke is the real thing”, and Disneyland or Disneyworld is the “real vacation”.

We recognize how much better real flowers look and smell than artificial and how much better real orange juice is than orange drink.

Sitting on our window sill over our kitchen sink is a ceramic (or something of that nature) small flower with a humming bird drinking nectar from it. It is colorfully and bright.

A few days ago, a REAL hummingbird was outside the window trying to get to the fake flower. Since the window was there, the real bird gave up and went away.

That reminds me of us earthly beings with a place inside that needs to be filled with the spirit of the Living God.

We spend energy strength and sometimes our lives trying to get the fake fulfillment that the enemy puts in front of us. We cannot seem to see that it is all fake.

The fortune, the success, the beauty, the fame, the honors: they will all fade away and the only thing that is real most of humanity will have failed to see and understand.

The real life is about our relationship with Jesus Christ and how we live our life walking in love for Him and love for others.

John 3:36 (KJV)
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life;
John 3:36 (MSG)
That is why whoever accepts and trusts the Son gets in on everything, life complete and forever!

Rather than turn from the fake to the real as the humming bird did at our window and realize true satisfaction comes from knowing we were created by God on purpose for a purpose, we continue to push on that window of deceit and spend our live in futile pursuit.

John 14:6 (KJV)
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:

Do you want real life? It is found in walking with Jesus and allowing Him to be our Lord and Savior.

Psalm 36:9 (KJV)
For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
Psalm 36:9 (MSG)
You’re a fountain of cascading light, and you open our eyes to light.

To pursue real is to pursue Jesus. You were created with talents and abilities and to use those to their fullest and live life to its fullest, you must allow that void that is within to be alive with the Spirit of God.

To enjoy life, we need to come back to the original relationship with God, through all that Jesus did on the cross and the resurrection!

Psalm 34:8 (KJV)
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

God is good, and God is real. The evil in this world is from satan and the more we understand God’s Love for us and walk in that Love toward others: the more we pray for those around us and the circumstances of life, we are reducing satan’s power and allowing Gods kingdom to come down to earth.

Seek the real. Everything else will fade away.

Father, In Jesus name I come to you and ask you to open our eyes that we may see what has real meaning in this world and what is just fluff. May we desire the real Jesus above all else and may we allow the real to be real in us. Amen

Have and amazing week and seek the real!
