Galatians 2:20 (KJV) - I 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 the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and
gave himself for me.”
Today’s scripture
reminds us that as true believers of God, we now operate as new creations with
Christ living in us. It is the bold
spirit of God within us that allows us to walk in power, authority, dignity and
truth. When we operate in any other
fashion, we are keeping Christ in bondage within. We must set Christ free to move and live
through us. It is through our faith that
we can operate in wholeness, joy, peace, and temperance. It is through our faith that Christ beams
from inside of us to bathe all around us with his love through our actions. Christ will gently knock and quietly speak;
we must respond in like manner. Christ
does not coerce, bride, cajole or puppeteer us into action. He speaks soothingly to our spirit and we
must respond in a fashion that is pleasing to God. Christ gave of himself and
only asks that we do the same; give of ourselves. Submit our lives to God wholly and give to
our fellowman unselfishly. We must set Christ
free to be the best that we can be. I
charge us today to find ways to set Christ free… do a random act of kindness
today. Give your best without expecting a return and watch Christ live freer in
you.
Every day is a good
day; it is up to us to make it a GREAT day!
Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
