This morning I will be singing a solo in our choir number. I anguish over times like this wanting it to be perfect for God and afraid I’ll screw it up. As I began to journal I started to write that I’d be glad when the morning was over. I was checked at this point and wrote I will surrender my fear and look forward to being a tool in Christ’s hands.

Later in my devotional time I read the gospel truth that not only does Christ live in me, but I too live in Christ, II Corinthians 5:17. In fact it says I’m a new creation IN CHRIST. Somehow all of these years I’m anchored myself in the truth that Christ is in me, but the fact that I can be in Him? That truth has never entered my mind until now. Good grief, I’ve always known Christ is everywhere so my understanding I can be in Christ should just be known and understood. However, that hasn’t been the case for myself until now. I’ve always felt unworthy of Christ being in me, but knowing I can be in Him makes a world of difference! As I am in Him, He is also in me. WOW! What a wonderful wake-up this is! This morning I will sing with great GRATITUDE!
