He is love and His love is in us!

Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

Lynn Cowell has a great post on Proverbs 31 Ministries titled  What Happens When I Forget Christ Lives in Me.  She writes: "Christ lives in us. We now live by faith, confidence and trust in the Son of God who loved us and gave Himself for us." From her post and the scripture I found three things that I want to pass on in encouragement:

When He died on the cross He proved His love. 

“When we are tempted to look for love in the way others respond, notice us or affirm us, we can choose to hold tight to the Truth that God has already affirmed us." Fully loved we can readily choose to die to ourselves daily so that His Spirit can live in and through us and give us real life.

His Spirit is big enough, is "good enough”, and is perfect in every situation.  

“Every day, settle it in your soul that you are deeply loved and forever cherished. Remember that the Spirit of Christ lives in you and He is bigger than your desire for proof that you are loved and His Spirit is good enough in every situation."

We have a lot of wonderful works to do and opportunities to be blessed and a blessing.  

"Don't waste your energy and time searching for love, just remember that the Spirit of Christ lives in you and be a conduit for His love, His purpose and His life to others."

He is love. His death and resurrection for our sins has proven His love. He is big enough, good enough, and the perfect answer for every question and perfect solution for every problem. And because He is proven love, and the perfect answer we don’t have to wast another second of our precious timing search for someone’s approval— we already have His. May we do amazing things and be wonderful people because His love is in us. 

He is love and His love is in us!
