The Journey, Part 4

Background Information: A friend of mine gave me this book called "Jesus Calling" in August. I can't remember how much I've written about it, so this may be repeated information. Basically, Sarah Young, the author, felt she could hear Jesus' voice. (She writes a Preface in the beginning of the book to better explain this.) So, she wrote a little devotional for every day for a year based on what she heard Jesus saying. The crazy thing is, almost every day relates to me in some way or another...

"Jesus Calling" February 20, 2010
"Learn to live from your true Center in Me. I reside in the deepest depths of your being, in eternal union with your spirit. It is at this deep level that My Peace reigns continually. You will not find lasting peace in the world around you, in circumstances, or in human relationships. The external world is always in flux-under the curse of death and decay. But there is a gold mine of Peace deep within you, waiting to be tapped. Take time to delve into the riches of My residing Presence. I want you to live increasingly from your real Center, where My Love has an eternal grip on you. I am Christ in you, the hope of Glory."

Colossian 3:15-"And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful."

Colossians 1:27-"For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory."

I'm not going to taint this magnificence with any words from me. It can speak for itself.

I found God today in that: He. is. Peace.

  1. I've heard a lot of talks dealing with God... I mean chapel everyday in school, church, and, I almost forgot, bible class.

    Sadly, I never hear much about God living in me, except about my body being a temple. It is something I learned from the Bible and , surpisingly, channel 8 motivational leaders (some have nothing to do with Chirst) and Joseph Campbell
    Strange, I know.

    I get excited about it. God lives in me. He lives in everyone. When you talk to someone, it is God too. the faces are God's many faces.
    It is beyond our brains understanding.

    LOVE
