My five senses are eternal skeptics with both feet firmly planted in the physical world.  My senses imprison me.  The five senses that insure my safe passage through the physical world blind me to the reality of the spiritual one.  There is a time to listen to my senses, and a time to come to my senses.

I must listen to what my spirit has to say.  The voice of my spirit knows who I am.  It knows that I am a spiritual being living in a physical body.  I face the challenge of living in the spirit without denying my body, and living in my body without denying my spiritual nature.  If I satisfy the cravings of my spirit, I find meaning and fulfillment.  If I satisfy only the cravings of my body, I become a prisoner of the physical world.  My spirit is the only part of me that will endure.  What my spirit becomes on its passage through time is what I will take with me into eternity.  I will not ignore my spirit, because it’s who I really am.

My connection with God is through my spirit.  That’s why Jesus said, “God is a Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”
