Every believer has the entire Christian life living in them right now.
Christ is all and is in all.
Colossians 3:11
The only way to grow the quality and the reach of our love is to grow in Christ as the center of our life.
"My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in in you..."
Galatians 4:19
There
is a difference between my soul and my spirit. My spirit is sealed and
secure in eternal connection to Jesus. My soul is imperfect and in the
process of learning to love again.
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is
living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing
even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and
is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
There is nothing the presence of Christ in me cannot cure.
John 7:37-38
On the last day, that great day
of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts,
let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture
has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.
Jesus
is my life, therefore, my life is perfect. The sum of my experience in
this world is far from perfect, therefore, my experience in this world
is not my life.
Philippians 1:21
For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
John 16:33
These
things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the
world you will[a] have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have
overcome the world.”
Whatever gets my attention gets me.
Matthew 6:22-23
“The
lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole
body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will
be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness,
how great is that darkness!
Underestimating Jesus leads me to my greatest losses.
John 15:5
“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
