Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Today I reflect on "Christ lives in me." Faith that remains merely knowledge, identity, or verbal confession easily becomes a religious formality; but the Bible reminds me that true life is about letting Christ reign within me. Do my words, emotions, and decisions reflect His character? In the midst of busyness and stress, do I still put the Lord first? If Christ truly dwells in me, His love, patience, and humility should gradually flow forth. May I give myself more each day, so that people see not just myself, but the Lord's work in my life.
Lord, thank You for giving me new life through the cross, so that I no longer live for myself. I ask You to illuminate the pride, ego, and weakness still hidden within me, so that I may willingly surrender the sovereignty of my life to You. May the Holy Spirit constantly remind me, so that my thoughts, words, and actions may glorify You. I ask that Christ truly live within me, and that Your love, gentleness, and truth flow from my life. I also ask that You use me, so that those around me may see You and know You through my life. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
