Am crucified with Christ: nevertheless i live; yet not i, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which i now live in the flesh i live by faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Gal 2:20.
Your life as a Christian is an exchanged one. It is a life received from the one who has taken over your own. By baptism, you have given yourself to God. You emptied yourself in the bowl of salvation. He has taken over your whole life so much, so that you no longer think of yourself but of him alone. But then, you have also collected his life. The life you now live is not yours but His. Now you cannot do anything you want because someone is the owner of your life - not you.
When you have come this much in your relationship with God. Your life takes on dimensions you would never have known apart from Him. When you are weak, then Christ demonstrates His strength in your life(2 Cor. 12:9-10).
When you face situations that are beyond your comprehension, you have only to ask, and the infinite wisdom of God is available to you(James 1:5).
When you are faced with human impossible situations, God does the impossible(Luke 18:27).
When you encounter people whom you find difficult to love, God expresses His unconditional love through you(1 John 4:7).
When you are at a loss as to what you should pray for, the Holy Spirit will guide you in your prayer life(Rom. 8:16).
When Christ takes up residence in the life of a Christian, all the fullness of God is available to that person(Eph. 3:19).
GOD BLESS!
