I Live In You
I LIVE IN YOU. This four-letter fact exponentially changes your life and improves your prospects for all eternity! Don't worry about whether or not you are a fit home for Me. I am well-accustomed to living in unfit houses. Believers throughout the world and through all time have presented Me with a wide variety of deficient dwellings or inhabit. I joyfully move into these humble homes and I work on renovating them from the inside. However, I refuse to dwell in people who think they are already "good enough" without Me. I have called such hypocrites whitewashed tombs: beautiful on the outside but putrid on the inside.
As you ponder the miraculous truth that I live in you, let your heart overflow with Joy. I am not a short-term tenant, indwelling you only as long as your behavior pleases Me. I have come to stay - permanently. Be aware, though, that my renovations can be quite painful at times, and I don't adhere to a forty-hour workweek. When My transforming work in you causes intense pain, cling trustingly to Me. I want you to live by faith in the One who loved you and gave Himself for you. Continue yielding to My renewal within you, and you will become more fully the masterpiece I designed you to be. Collaborate with Me, and live abundantly!
- Jesus
