"For it is His good-pleasure to reign in our Understanding blissfully, and sit in our Soul restfully, and to dwell in our Soul endlessly.."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 57)
It is a pleasure to Christ to live inside of us. He is perfectly comfortable and at home with us. He takes care of us inside, being and doing all that we need.
He reigns in our understanding, for His good and sound mind is stronger and wiser than our often confused and fearful mind. He is always bringing His thoughts and perspective to our understanding, giving us His own mind to be our mind.
He also sits in our soul in perfect rest. He sits because He is satisfied and the work of our salvation is already done. Sin is already conquered. Death is already defeated. So whatever struggle we are facing, Christ isn't worried about it. He is sitting in perfect rest because He knows all is well already and we are already victors over everything in Him. And He makes us to remember, believe in, experience and stand in that victory.
He dwells in our soul endlessly. He wants us to know He isn't going anywhere. He is in His permanent and eternal home - in us! No matter what we do or how many faith lapses or failures we have, Christ is dwelling in us. He won't leave us for any reason. How wonderful is this Savior and Friend who happily, peacefully, victoriously, faithfully lives in us forever!
"The closeness of the embrace of His presence sustains you."
James 5:8 (MIRROR)
A Prayer: It makes me happy to know You are happy to live inside of me!
