Today’s Scripture: For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory. Colossians 1:27 NLT
Do you want to know a secret? Christ lives in you. Everyone loves a good mystery. Our minds love to solve mysteries and puzzles. This mystery however, as hard as we try, will not be solved in our minds.
The mystery of how the fullness of God, all of His power and might can be in Jesus Christ and then in turn Jesus Christ lives fully in us. Hmmm, do we ever figure this out or do we just learn to live it.
Will we spend all of our time and efforts searching our minds and egos for the meaning of life or will we LET CHRIST LIVE in us? He DOES live in ALL of us.
This mystery of life is not one to be understood in the flesh but one to be lived.
Can you get your mind around this mystery? No, you can not. Just know Christ is in you and let Him live.
Today’s Prayer: Father, thank You for giving me the fullness of You through Christ in me. I accept the fullness of Your power and the fullness of Christ in me. I need Your strength LORD to help me live as Christ lives in me. Help me to allow Your mystery to live and accept Your Word over the understanding of my flesh. Amen

I don’t need to figure it out, thank goodness–I’m just glad and grateful He does live inside me, and I’m going to keep walking in faith that He will become more and more obvious, even in this flawed vessel. God bless you and your family BIG–love, sis Caddo
Amen, sis just keep walking and let Him be obvious and guide our direction and write His love on our hearts with His Spirit! In our flaws is where we find His strength and His presence:) So thankful that our flaws allow us to know Him! BIG Blessings:)
A powerful truth Tom. How Christ lives in us and “possesses” us while still allowing us to live our lives is a great mystery and yet I know He does it for I experience every waking moment!
Amen Joseph, we know don’t we? When you experience His Majesty and know it is not of us but Him in us it is no longer a matter of mystery but of trusting His Spirit and His Word. Blessings and possession.
Amen!
Don’t want to waste my time trying to figure this out either, Tom .. just want to live Him out! Thank you and God bless you!
Thanks Deb, I am with you. Just live it! Blessings and living to the full!
