Have confidence - Be brave - Cheer upTime and again Jesus...
Time and again Jesus calls us to give ourselves over in unconditional abandon to God’s mercy and time and again we make excuses. He has promised to forgive…He has forgiven. Your past is gone…it’s done.
Philippians 3:3 says that we ARE the circumcision (the ones called by God and called out by God) and that we worship by the spirit, that we glory in Christ and that we put no faith or trust in our flesh.
This verse tells us how go about living life in this manner…it isn’t us the lives like this but Christ living through us.
“I can do all things” - I have the strength to do all of the things, every one…no matter how great or small, I have the power, the strength, the ability to dig deep and keep going!
“Through him who gives me strength” - the word through is incredible…it is by way of a mystic indwelling.
Yep, that’s right the strength that I have to do all of the things to which I have been called and that come into my path comes from the mystic indwelling of Christ in me.
I’m just leaving this here because that truth is so pure and powerful…it really doesn’t need any other explanation or commentary. I just need to know that no matter what comes my way, I have the power, the strength, the ability to do what needs to be done because I have been mystically in dwelt by the spirit of God through Christ…all I need do is dig deep, find that strength and allow Him to live in me and through me to get it done and make it happen.
I think we can all apply this strength in our lives…that’s powerful!
