Christ in me-I in Christ

Colossians 1:29"To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me. "

1 Corinthians 15:10"But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. "
Ephesians 1:19-20" ...and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength  he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms"

God promises power-we can believe-we recieve!

There you have it.I was encouraged yesterday when I read these verses. God's power in me is the Only way I can do what is asked of me when it looks impossible!
You can do ANYTHING with God on your side.

VICTORY in JESUS!

Phil 2:3 "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves."
Today while walking I was praying about some of my insecurities and having conversation with God about this.He gently reminded me that yes,I do need to deal with these and later in the day brought words from a friend that confirmed that HE and ONLY HE can help me gain victory in this. He also reminded me that maybe it could be a bit easier for me if I was not so quick to criticize others.I thought how true...it's a fact I have known for a long time, the fact that often when a person is critical it's easy to put someone a bit lower than ourselves to make us feel "better than",Note: I said "feel"-and that's as far as it goes -feelings.
But God...
HE wants to meet us at the heart of the matter and have TRUE VICTORY!
