Christ lives in you!
Galatians 2:20
My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
What an honour and privilege, to live in this time, where we have a Saviour who gave up His life for us. This verse reminds us that now Christ lives in us; we are a new creation, as we have surrendered our lives to God Almighty, who is in charge of everything, and also our lives. This actually takes off some pressure from our side, that we have the living God living in us, which means He guides us, He helps us, He gives us an advantage in life- favour! With this, doors that you didn't even knock in, will come looking for you, people will favour you because the Lord has placed it in their hearts to do so. It is not your efforts but it is the favour of God! Also, for the fact that you didn't even deserve this, but God is doing it because He loves you. It is His grace and mercy over your life.
Therefore, all we can do to respond to this, is just to accept Him to take charge and lead the way. Psalm 119:105 tells us that His word is the lamp to our feet; which means whereever you go, the Lord lights up your path, you will never walk in the dark, because of His presence. It is heartwarming and something we should be grateful for. However, this doesn't mean we'll be immune to the challenges of this world, but it gives us comfort that whatever challenge we may face, we are not alone, He is there with us and for us (Romans 8:31). Rejoice for the Most High loves and cares for you, forget what other people think of you, what matters is what the Lord says about you!
