Day 266: Song of Songs 4-5; 2 Corinthians 13
Recently in our Spiritual Gifts Survey/Inventory, we kept reminding everyone, ourselves included: "This is not a test! (or, a quiz)!" There are no wrong answers...just an honest evaluation. In 2 Corinthians 13:5, Paul challenges the church to 'test' and 'examine' themselves. The measure, the point of evaluation is 'Christ in me.' This brings another favorite phrase of Paul's to mind: 'being in Christ.' Jesus in me and I in Him...today is a good time to reflect on His presence and my being present in a love relationship (obedient walk) with Him. How am I doing? How are you doing? Honestly!

Yep. This is where " the rubber meets the road." I need to have a more trusting walk with Jesus. Always trying to do it myself. Trying to do better than my Maker! What a tiny prideful creature I am.
Makes me think of: "Just a Closer Walk"
I am weak, but Thou art strong!
Jesus, keep me from all wrong.
I'll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee!
This made me think about two nights ago when I was trying to fall asleep and I was thinking of Jesus and then thought how would it feel if I didn't have Jesus to talk to or that he was completely out of my life. So I thought hard and mentally try to feel
how that would feel. And all I felt was a dark and empt feeling in my body, which felt bad. I thank him for being in my life and walking with me while correcting my wayðŸ™ðŸ’—
Amen! Apart from Him I can do nothing...I am nothing. He is my everything and my all!
