Jesus actually stands at the door of our heart and asks to
come in and live in us (Revelations 3:20). Those who live in Christ
are the most blessed people in the world. We live and move and have our entire
being in Him. If you want to join our ranks, you simply seek the Lord and cling
to Him. You will find Him, because He is not very far from any one of us (Acts
17:24-28).
If we love Him and keep His Words, He will love us and come
to dwell in us. He walks in us and claims us as His own (2
Corinthians 6:16; Leviticus 26:12). Our body is God’s temple and His
Spirit dwells in our spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16). He helps us to realize
that we are children of God, and co-heirs with Christ (Colossians
1:27; Galatians 4:6; Romans 8:17). He fills us throughout our
entire being with all of His fullness (Ephesians 3:16-19).
God is one God, and once we come to Him in full surrender,
the entire Trinity dwells within us (John 14:16-17). The
Trinity strengthens our Born Again spirit (Ephesians 3:14-19). God is
our Father and He loves and cares for us. God even uses our suffering to reveal
His glory in us (Romans 8:18). With Christ in us, we take on
God’s divine nature (Romans 8:9-10; 1 Corinthians 6:17; Philippians 1:1;
3:9; 2 Peter 1:4).
God commanded the light to shine from the darkness; and His
light shines in us to give us the knowledge of His glory, which shone from the
face of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6). If we immerse our self in
the scriptures, the Word of Christ will richly dwells in us and give us wisdom
to teach and admonish one another (Colossians 3:16). As we
love Him, He loves us and brings us to abide in Him forever (John
14:23).
We become the gospel of Christ to the world around us (John
6:47-51). God gives us both the desire and the ability to abide as
Christ in the place in which He calls us to live and obey Him (Philippians
2:12-13; Ephesians 2:10). We serve Jesus, our Lord, with every fiber of our
being (1 Corinthians 12:3), because God fills us with His Holy Spirit to
accomplish His works with our life (Ephesians 5:18-19).
Prayer:
Father God, we bow down and worship You as part of Your
family. Strengthen our spirit and soul, according to Your glorious riches. As
Christ dwells in our heart by faith, fill us through our entire being with all
of Your fullness. Ground us in Your love, so that all of Your Saints will
experience the width, length, depth and height of Your love through us, and to
come to know the love of Christ by Your Spirit (Ephesians 3:14-19).
Thought for the Day:
God has plans for us, which will give us hope and a future
and will see us through all harm. – Jeremiah 29:11
