Yes, He is real.  He is real as in ultimate reality!  Real as in friend!  Real as in relationship!  Real as in worship!  Real as in personal!  Is He real to you?  Is He real to me?  We must cultivate our connection with Him by His Spirit.  He loves our conversations with Him;  He loves it when we are listening.  We have fallen into thinking that only the tangible is real.  If it were not for the spiritual, there could be no tangible.  If it were not for the unseen world, there would be no seen world.  Live with and the reality of the Real.  This is what will ground your life.

“Though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:8-9 (NASB)
