Living In A Field of Dreams

One movie my husband and I enjoyed very much was "Field of Dreams" with Kevin Costner. My husband particularly liked the baseball aspect of the movie. I particularly liked Kevin Costner. Anyway, the concept of the movie is Kevin Costner's character Ray is persuaded to build a baseball field in the middle of his cornfield. He does so while everyone including his wife questions his sanity. The bank wants to foreclose on the farm but Ray continues trying to hang on. The movie unfolds bringing baseball players from the past that only he and his family can see to play ball on the field that was built. The players include his Father.

I can't help think how similar my life is to Ray's. I too am interacting with the invisible. I'm interacting with an invisible God and an invisible Holy Spirit on a daily basis. Some think I'm crazy. I try to explain it to others but they do not understand. What is invisible is real. What is unseen has substance. You can't see it with your eyes. You see it by interacting with the substance of what is unseen.


Dear Heavenly Father,

My hope is in what is unseen….eternal. I pray that others will choose to interact with the substance of what is unseen. You are invisible but real. Like Ray in the movie I feel like I'm having this incredible awesome experience and I want others to see it too…but they can't. Open the eyes of others to see how truly awesome you are.

In Jesus Name,
Jane


2 Corinthians 4:18 (New International Version)

18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Hebrews 11:1 (King James Version)

1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

1 Timothy 1:15-17 (New International Version)

15Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. 16But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life. 17Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen
