Sometimes it Clicks

Pastor Bob quoted this verse tonight and I've heard it hundreds of times, but tonight it came alive in my spirit. Colossians 1:27 "Christ in you, the hope of glory." (The whole first chapter of Colossians is ridiculously mind-blowing in case you haven't read it in awhile, it's worth a re-read.) This is also ridiculously mind-blowing......Christ, the living God of the universe is IN ME! What the? I wish this was more a reality in my thoughts and actions in every moment of life because if I would live as though this were truth, than this verse could finally become more than words on a page. Me: drawn to sin, prone to wander, 'always on my mind', I have hope that the glory of God can be pictured in me. Some of the characteristics I love so much about Jesus could actually be portayed in me. I know most of you who may read this know this already, but if you're like me, you are in awe of this relationship we get to have with Him. I can't get over it really. This makes me sing. This makes me worship in truth. This makes my heart spill with love for Him. This makes my arms physically reach for Him. Man, how redonkulously blessed are we??
