Christ In Me

As Christmas continues to approach at a rapidly increasing pace, I continue to contemplate the beauty of the manger. What has captured me the most this season is the mere importance of Jesus birth. I believe I often peg the cross as more significant than Christ's birth. It dawned on me, this Christmas season, that the presence of Jesus in me sustains me throughout the entire year. I have confidence in Christ—despite circumstances—because I know that Christ is IN me! I can trust him when things are difficult, I can fight sin because he is with me—all of these things are based on the fact that he came! And that is so glorious! 

This December Christy Nockles song “Everything is Mine in You” has really resonated with me as I look back over 2015.



Everything is mine in You
Even when my heart is breaking
Everything is mine in You
Even when my hands are empty
Everything is mine in You
Oh, in You

Everything is mine in You
I can trust You with my longing
Everything is mine in You
Even though the road is lonely
Everything is mine in You
Oh, in You

‘Cause You are, master over all
And You say, You are my inheritance
And in You, I have everything I need
And You are, seated in the heavenlies
And You say, forever You’re my hiding place
And in You, I have everything I need
Everything is mine in You
And I know my future’s bright
Everything is mine in You
Past or present, death and life
Everything is mine in You
