Embracing the reality of God living and working in us (John 14:10) with a quote from George Macdonald.


SCRIPTURE: John 14:10 (NIV)
The Father, living in me…is doing his work.

STORY:
George Macdonald in Robert Falconer wrote: “This is a sane, wholesome, practical, working faith: first, that it is a man’s business to do the will of God; second, that God takes on himself the special care of that man; and third, that therefore that man ought never to be afraid of anything.”

OBSERVATION:
Because of God’s presence in us … we fear nothing.
Because of God’s presence in us … we face everything with confidence.
Because of God’s presence in us … we accept everything.
Because of God’s presence in us … we attempt great things.
Because of God’s presence in us … we expect great things.
Because of God’s presence in us … we shy away from nothing.
Because of God’s presence in us … we love everybody.
Because of God’s presence in us … we forgive everybody.
Because of God’s presence in us … we hold no grudges.
Because of God’s presence in us … we judge no one.
Because of God’s presence in us … we save all we can.
Because of God’s presence in us … we give all we can.
Because of God’s presence in us … we spend all we can.
Because of God’s presence in us … we look to the future with hope.
Because of God’s presence in us … we hold onto nothing from the past.
Because of God’s presence in us … we take on all challenges.
Because of God’s presence in us … we are who we are!
Because of God’s presence in us … we do what we do.
Because of God’s presence in us … we can face tomorrow.
Because of God’s presence in us … we march boldly into the unknown.
Because of God’s presence in us … we have a sense of the holy.

And so the list goes on … all because of God living in us … doing his work through us … in spite of us … and the list goes on …

PRAYER:
Thank you God for living in us and making all the difference in our life!
