Colossians 1: 27
... And this is the secret: Christ lives in you.
O my Father, the mystery of Your Plan, hidden from all past ages, only hinted at in the former Covenant, now revealed to us! That I, a woman of Western European heritage, should share in the wonderful benefits of Your own Chosen People--this is truly a very shocking and amazing thing--that You would take the heathen and the Greek, the whore and the aristocrat, and make us all equal to the "apple of Your eye"--this must be the most fantastic thing You have done! Who could have imagined that You would make the ground so level at the Cross that no one would have either an advantage or a disadvantage: all are declared sinners and in the same need, of the same Savior!
O Father, to be such a good Father to me, and to place me in Christ, making me acceptable and accepted, granting me worth far above even Your angels! Thank you, Father! Thank You Lord Jesus! Thank You for Your Spirit to dwell in me, in the same Power that raised Christ from the dead, working in me! Utterly amazing!
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
