God has been revealing many great Truths to me over these last several weeks, and as much as I long to share them, I feel like I need to hold them to myself a little longer, until my grasp on them is better. So, it may be pretty quiet around here for awhile. I do still want to get posts up, so I may be leaving you in the hands of much older and wiser people for a while, and today I want to share with you an excerpt from an incredible book by two of my heroes, Eric and Leslie Ludy. Enjoy!
" In John 15, Jesus gave His disciples what may be the most profound and beautiful command in the entire Bible... He summed up the essence, the granderur, the mystery, and the marvel of life in but a few life-altering words. He said to them, 'Abide in Me.'
What did He mean by that?
He meant, 'Find the meaning of life in Me. Find your value and confidence in Me. Find your purpose and direction in Me. Find the source for all spiritual achievement in Me. Find the strength to live each moment in Me. Find the wisdom to navigate the many turns for life in Me... Find the most satisfying life for all of eternity in Me.'
To abide in Christ means to allow His Life to possess us at all times and in every situation life brings. To abide means saying to God with the inhaling of every breath, 'Not my will, but Yours be done.'...
God created us to abide in Him. It's that basic. Abiding in Him is our life's purpose. Abiding in Him is what we were created for. Abiding in Him is why we are here."
