"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body."
2 Corinthians 4:7-10
The truth of life here on earth is that until Jesus comes - the world is increasingly getting worse - dying - decaying - passing away. With it, the people - all impure. Jesus is life - he desires for his life to be seen in you. It is good to know that he is in everything you do. He is in you.
No matter how uncomfortable, how scary, how new something may feel, he is in you. Give him the power and each moment will reveal his grace in you. Let him pour through. He is love. He is kindness. He feeds the hungry, clothes the unclothed, teaches, prays - Christ Jesus lives. Let him live in you. Submit all things to Jesus and be free.
It is one thing to be saved from hell, it is quite another to allow the Lord to manifest his life in your flesh through the Holy Spirit. The habit of obeying the calling of the Lord is the habit that gives life in the way that Jesus has prepared for you to walk and live.
