Galatians 2:20
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.
God reminds me today with this verse, that I live this life due to God’s grace, and by no power of my own. Remembering this, I can move forward fearlessly, knowing I am not the one in control, and God’s love for his creation never ends. If I am afraid, or feel lost, I am reminded of God’s love with this verse, and can get back on track.
Holy One, again I feel so thankful for your Word. You have left us instructions for life, for living and for loving one another. And through your Word, we are shown the path to you. Amen

Twenty years after His conversion Paul writes it is no longer I who live, but the Christ who lives in me. This is not a holier than thou claim, but an acceptance of the invitation that Jesus himself continues to give to each one of us. It took Paul twenty years to get to the place where he was no longer living merely for himself.. I don't want to feel…
