Life's to be lived in the moment. Truly this moment is all I have. Only in the present moment can we experience our place of union and relationship with God.
Jesus quotes the Psalms which says we are gods. Are we truly little gods? We are gods as He Himself is God in us. What little Christs equals is Christ in me, not me trying to be Him.
The benefit of living IN Christ is that my life is done for me, through me. This is the most exciting news, while being the most devastating to our ego.
"Christ in you the hope of glory" and "Not I but Christ" are two aspects of the same reality and revelation. But many find it difficult to actually live IN Christ.
I'm seeing that we are called to stand for the permanence and dignity of THE KINGDOM. I'm here to bear witness to the victory and excellence of God's Kingdom.
The path to royalty is narrow and hard, and few are willing to give when they can take. Yet we can and do meet royalty in unexpected places and people.
Though I am royal by rebirth, my royalty doesn't come from me. God didn't make thousands of little royals to be rulers. He wishes to Rule in and through thousands of little royals.
