I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:20
There's the broken me... and the me Christ created me to be... and the two... they have it out...
Too often the me who is dead... slips out... with her self-righteous arrogance... forgetting any righteousness comes only from Him... forged on a cross...
The fear-full me... who thinks worry... is a way to control... tries to shroud my heart... this one forgets... I am safe in Him... He is for my good... and His glory... through all He allows...
And there's the me who thinks I'm not enough... and what He provides... is not enough... she forgets... the always more than enough... of bread... and fishes... and words...
Each step... each moment... of this journey... requires... filtering of me... for Him to create... what's new... free... unbound... and unwound...
Trusting Him... to filter me... as needed...
Wretched man that I am!
Who will deliver me from this body of death?
Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!
Romans 7:24-25 ESV
