A Revolution Has Begun

I've been reading Dallas Willard's "Revolution of Character," and he says this: "What an astonishing vision! The water of heaven flows through our being until we are fully changed people. We wake each morning breathing the air of this new world; we experience a new consciousness, and our character is transformed. We drop our deceitful practices, our insincerity, our defensiveness, our envy, and our slander, and we move outward toward others in genuine love."

This vision of what my life could look like is both inspiring (as I long to be a transformed person!) and a bit overwhelming (in light of how far I am from being that kind of person)... I'm wondering what kind of feelings it invokes in you, and if you believe this kind of life is really possible for you...

I love the image of water and breath and life and trees... I wrote something in lines with this a while back. Here is the link. This would be my response.

Nate,

That's beautiful... I love what you said about the wind of the Spirit... if only we could abandon control of ourselves and be carried by the wind... thanks for sharing it.
