“To them, God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Col 1:27

In the new beginning you and I came into after being born again, a covenant was enacted, which is founded upon one of the promises God gave humanity in the ancient times through the prophets. God wants to live through men, but cannot impute His will onto them if they haven’t willingly received Him to dwell in their life. “I pray that out of the riches of His glory may He strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being.” Ephesians 3:16

C.S. Lewis said, “The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.” This is one of the great wonders of God in the new beginning that He promised us. We come into a life where Christ becomes a dweller in us and the only dweller. He cannot share the abode with any spirit or property, He is a jealous God, He wants to take His place, and He is not in competition for it. When we gladly confess and receive Him at the moment of beginning anew in Him, His life gets transmitted into us, we become His, and He becomes ours, and together we become the joint heir of God.

As you continue the second half of the year 2019, trust God with your life and let Him dwell in you. “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” ― Corrie ten Boom. His will becomes so easy for us to accept and survive. This is how the hoped glory manifests as we allow Him to live through us, shining light everywhere and blessing everyone around us. Today, as you go out, keep in your heart that you host the Lord Jesus, you are not of yourself alone, and much more be ready to allow Christ to show Himself to someone through you, and a great blessing awaits such surrendered vessels. In Matthew 19:11, Jesus said, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given.”
