Until we truly truly believe that Christ is our life- and that apart from Him we can do nothing- we will struggle. We SAY He loves us, He cares for us and He works all things to our good because we love Him BUT we don't truly BELIEVE He does any of these things. If we did we would find Him as our Strength and our Peace and our Provider- in all aspects of our life. Work, family, health, finances, church.
But so often, we really are unbelieving believers. We've believed Him from saving us from hell but not our daily hell. We think of Him as Savior of our sins- for the future- but we don't KNOW Him as Healer and Overcomer, IN US, NOW!
We have not allowed Him to be our Power for life and godliness. Because we don't KNOW Him as Life, our Life.
Without Him we are truly weak, defeated, frazzled, anxious, depressed. We strive according to our works in ALL areas of our life. Oh how I pray, we come to the end of our self! Self-effort that we live in in every moment. As we raise our kids, be a spouse, do our jobs, serve in the church- whatever it may be in our life that we strive so hard at, apart from Him!
I pray for the revelation of God! The victory! Freedom! To know that at every moment HE IS MY LIFE. And because He is- I can live in peace, joy, be gentle and kind, goodness, faithful, controlled, sharing love with others- no matter the situation. No matter the circumstance. No matter the moment.
EVERY
MOMENT
EVERY
MOMENT
HE IS MY LIFE!
Galatians 2:20!
A child of God- beloved, holy, righteous, blameless, healed, forgiven, brand new, sheep, salt, light, a branch, temple of God, reconciled, a saint, God's workmanship, hidden with Christ in God, an expression of the life of Christ because He is my life, a partaker, a living stone- crucified with Christ, I no longer live but Christ lives IN ME!
