My Inspiring Scripture

Thanks for the push to do this! :)

The Scripture that has meant a lot to me over the years is Galatians 2:20

"I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the {life} which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me." (NASB)

This is something I need to remember on a more consistent basis. Letting the life of God flow through me, rather than trying to live life on my own - doing things through the fleshly side of me. Not good!

The fleshly side of me is dead, because it has been crucified with Christ! At times in my life this has shown bright and clear, at other times, it's a murky truth, because I don't let the light of God and His Word shine on it, and I start to carry that dead man around again. Goodness! What a heavy weight that is.

When I really think about things and let that dead man fall off, realizing that the life I live now, I live by faith in the Son of God, and that Christ lives in me -Wow! Why would I not want to have that be a reality in my life every day. Oh that I would grasp this truth more and more every day and let it change my life.
