Living in dependence
on Me is a glorious adventure. Most people scurry around busily, trying to
accomplish things through their own strength and ability. Some succeed
enormously; others fail miserably. But both groups miss what life is meant
to be: living and working in collaboration with Me.
When you depend on Me continually, your whole perspective changes. You see miracles happening all around, while others see only natural occurrences and “coincidences.” You begin each day with joyful expectation, watching to see what I will do. You accept weakness as a gift from Me, knowing that My Power plugs in most readily to consecrated weakness. You keep your plans tentative, knowing that My plans are far superior. You consciously live, move, and have your being in Me, desiring that I live in you. I in you, and you in Me. This is the intimate adventure I offer you.
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me… For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:9–10
“For in him we live and move and have our being.” Acts 17:28
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. Colossians 2:6–7
“On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.” John 14:20
