Day
14
Father, I’m so glad that the Holy Spirit is within me, to
strengthen me with power in my inner person…to make Christ real within me and
flood my heart with His limitless love…to fill me with Your fullness…to enable
me to know in personal experience the things You have so freely bestowed on me
in Christ—my new identity, my incredible spiritual blessings.
I
celebrate the fact that I have been crucified with Christ, and that now I am
alive with His life…that through my new birth I died out of my old life, and
that You resurrected me to a living relationship with You…and so I am dead to
sin and alive to You! Thank You that
these facts are true, whether or not they seem logical, whether or not I feel
they’re true…and that as I praise You for them, Your Spirit enables me more and
more to live in the light of my new identity in You. Thank You that He is using Your Word to
deliver me from the viewpoints and values of the world, the flesh, and the
devil…and He is renewing my mind to see things from Your point of view, so that
I can walk in newness of life. I praise
You that Christ is not a weak person outside me, but a tremendous power inside
me…that through Him I am competent to cope with life, to do Your will, to love
with Your love, to be more than a conqueror.
How I rejoice that I can grow, develop my gifts, enlarge my
capacities…that I need not be forever shackled by my past, but that with
confidence and joy I can look forward to actually becoming all that You have in
mind for me to be.
But
may it never be that I should boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus
Christ. … Galatians 6:14
