Before I became a Christian I do not think I fully realized that one’s life, after conversion, would inevitably consist in doing most of the same things one had been doing before, one hopes, in a new spirit, but still the same things.

When we accept God, it is our spirit that changes, not our physical circumstances. However, when we remain true to our relationship with God, our physical world begines to refelect our spiritual world until both are one and the same. Then, we do live in a different world because our perpective is correct and our understanding is true. That world is called Eden and it is the garden beautiful. As within, so without.
In conversion,
Z gardener
