Jesus, the place I desire to be more than any other in time or space is IN YOU. There are some luxurious, beautiful, adventurous mountains, islands, and vacation spots around Your globe; however, I crave above everything to be IN YOU.
IN YOU is where everything I’ll ever need or want is located.
IN YOU it does not matter what happens in this life – I will still have beautiful fellowship, safety, peace and joy IN YOU.
IN YOU I have forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit.
What a blessing – You are the God of the universe yet You allow me to be miraculously and magnificently IN YOU. I do not deserve it – it is based 100% on Your love for me. It is not because I am that lovable; rather, it is because You are a God of the greatest love imaginable.
I never want to let Satan con me with his cheap tricks to trip my fleshly trigger with drugs, alcohol, possessions, money, sex, power, control, education, ego, people, career, etc. and pull me away from being IN YOU. I always want to be IN YOU because that is THE purpose and meaning of my entire life. If I am IN YOU I am exactly where I want to be from here to eternity.
Read Romans 6:1-4 and Ephesians 1:3-14. Then listen to an awesome song by MercyMe entitled: IN YOU.
Romans 6:1-4
What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? Far from it! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in newness of life.
