… now you are light in the Lord…. — Ephesians 5:8
For a moment, imagine yourself in heaven. Rather than think about what heaven will be like, think about what you will be like in heaven.
Think about the energy you will have. Think about the confidence you will feel. Think about how nothing will upset you. Think about the wisdom and kindness that will flow with your words. Think about your desires, now completely pure and satisfied. Think about the inexhaustible fund on inner wealth that will be hours 24/7. Think about the gratitude that will flood every moment. You will take your seat with Jesus in a mighty hall high above the earth.
This person you will be is quite an amazing person!
I want you to know that you already are that person. That amazing person already exists deep inside you. He or she was created the moment Christ came in to revolutionize your life.
That person is inside you when you drive in heavy traffic and someone cuts you off. That person is inside you when your spouse says something biting or discouraging. That person is inside you when the enemy comes by with his assorted temptations and lies. That person that Christ desired so much that He died to bring him or her to life, that person is alive inside you right now. That person will never, ever die.
Find that person who is so intimately connected to Christ, and you will find your Christian life.
Be encouraged!
