I SPEAK TO YOU FROM THE DEPTHS OF YOUR BEING. Hear Me saying soothing words of Peace, assuring you of My Love. Do not listen to voices of accusation, for they are not from Me. I speak to you in love-tones, lifting you up. My Spirit convicts cleanly, without crushing words of shame. Let the Spirit take charge of your mind, combing out tangles of deception. Be transformed by the truth that I live within you.
The Light of My Presence is shining upon you, in benedictions of Peace. Let My Light shine in you; don't dim it with worries or fears. Holiness is letting Me live through you. Since I dwell in you, you are fully equipped to be holy. Pause before responding to people or situations, giving My Spirit space to act through you. Hasty words and actions leave no room for Me; this is atheistic living (someone who does not believe in God). I want to inhabit all your moments - gracing your thoughts, words and behavior.
- Jesus
Scripture Insight: Romans 8:1-2; Colossians 1:27 and 1 Corinthians 6:19
(Jesus Calling / Sarah Young)
Colossians 1:27 - Paul said, "To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory"
ReplyDeletePaul said that he was proclaiming the word of God to its fullness, not just a part of the plan. He called God's plan a "mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations," not in the sense that only a few would understand, but because it was hidden until Christ came. Through Christ it was made open to all. God's secret plan is "Christ in you, the hope of glory" -- God planned to have his Son, Jesus Christ, live in the hearts of all who believe in him. Do you know Christ? He is not hidden if you will come to him.
