Slow Down




“…to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery…which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
Colossians

One of the great mysteries of our life in Christ is that He dwells inside our physical bodies.  One of the facts of this mystery is that He comes slowly to every situation while our humanness rushes in.  We are first to look un-guarded, judge unsympathetically, participate without first counting the cost, respond in wrath, hold to a higher standard, give away emotion that belongs to another. 

The truth is that Christ comes in a whisper, in a gentle nudge in a soft reminder.  It always seems that to allow Him to fully live out His life inside our physical bodies that we must at all time enslave our physical responses thereby allowing time for Him to manifest Himself into our animations.
