“…Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Galations 2:20*
……….
Unleash your creative power
Think a new thought through me
Extend your arms of love
Reaching out to those in need.
……….
You who speckle the sky with stars
And lighten the dark with the moon
Who brightens the day with the sun
Giving flowers to bud and bloom
……….
What would you do through me
Yielded to be your home?
Carry bread to a hungry world
Living water to thirsty souls.
……….

Christ lives in me. The magnitude of that statement is mind boggling. Christ in me. Imagine…the Creator dwelling in this cracked pot of a temple and calling it home!
What would He do with a life given over to Him? What thoughts would seep? What acts of mercy extend? What lives would be changed simply because Christ was near?
My hope is to live every day — every moment — believing Christ lives in me.

A quote by D.L. Moody comes to mind …“The world has yet to see what God can do with a man fully consecrated to him. By God’s help, I aim to be that man.” Love the poem!!!
