Several months ago on the drive home from church, my youngest daughter and I were talking about what she had learned in Sunday School. She told me that she learned that the things we experience with our physical senses are actually no more real than what we might experience in a dream. What is real is what we experience in our spiritual existence—our real Life that is God. So, really, it is our spiritual senses, and not the physical senses, that tell us what's true.
What my daughter learned in Sunday School helped her when she was injured.
After returning home, we thought we would have some fun with a pogo stick in our garage. When my daughter was on the pogo stick, she bounced into a pool of oil that had dripped from the car, and was immediately flat on her face on the ground and bleeding. What I saw was not pretty. But I was able to think of my daughter in spiritual terms, even though that wasn't what I was seeing. I knew that what was real was the child that God had made in His image and likeness, as the Bible says (see Gen 1:26, 27).
