Relinquishing Reality

Relinquishing Reality

When redemption and sanctification give birth to visible glory.

When what we call real stands in the way of what is eternal.

Realities stop the glory from being seen. Each person speaks from their own world — a world built from history, pain, belief, and desire.They call it truth, but it is only perception.Yesterday I watched as people spoke from their realities, each certain of their view.But as I listened, I realised how far those voices were from one another — and from mine.

Then it dawned on me: God was showing me that my reality was not the glory’s reality.

Even my highest understanding was still human — a structure shaped by experience and understanding.

The glory does not live inside those walls. It moves outside the framework of what I think, know, or believe.

To experience glory, I must relinquish my reality — not because it’s false, but because it’s limited. As long as I hold to what I call real, His radiance remains veiled. But when I release my version of the world, I become transparent enough for His to appear.

This is where glorification begins.

Redemption frees the soul from bondage.

Sanctification purifies what was redeemed.

And glorification is when nothing stands between God and the vessel He inhabits.

The glorified are not those who have left their humanity behind, but those whose humanity no longer blocks the view of God.

Reality belongs to man; glory belongs to God. When we let go of our reality, the eternal breaks through and becomes visible.

“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face.” — 1 Corinthians 13:12
