Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Karen J. from Everett, WA said:
What a beautiful verse! This is what it is all about...Christ living in us for he died for us! We have died and been born again through the blood of Christ whom is the Lamb of God. And by accepting Christ in our lives as Lord and Savior He now lives IN us! Amen!!!!

1 Corinthians 4:5
Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.
Karen J. from Everett, WA said:
Smetimes this can be hard to do for us. I know this of myself. fFor example, I see a homeless person who looks mean and I can become fearful as I walk by therefore judging that this person can harm me. Which possibly could be true but I need to have faith which is the opposite of fear. I can use many an example...by the way someone speaks. Anything! But I catch myself, ask our heavenly Father for forgiveness and pray for this defect of character in me to change. For I am NOT to judge. That is left of to our Father God and ultimately Christ Jesus!!! Amen.

these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
Karen J. from Everett, WA said:
I simply would never have thought that the Spirit seaches even the deep things of God. Definately going to reseach this further if possible. Somethings to really meditate on and believe me...I will!
