"living in the awareness of the risen Jesus is not a trivial pursuit for the bored and lonely or a defense mechanism enabling us to cope with the stress and sorrow of life. it is the key that unlocks the door to grasping the meaning of existence. all day and every day we are being reshaped into the image of Christ. everything that happens to us is designed to this end. nothing that exists can exist beyond the pale of His presence ("all things were created through him and for him"-col. 1:16), nothing is irrelevant to it, nothing is withouth significance in it."
