Jesus in Me

Good morning!
Today’s Scripture is:
“So I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. I still live in my body, but I live by faith in the Son of God. He loved me and gave himself to save me.”Galatians 2:20 (ICB)
Jesus in Me
What does it mean when the Bible says “Christ lives in me”?
It doesn’t mean Jesus moves into your house or wears your clothes.
It means Jesus helps you on the inside.
When Christ lives in you:
Jesus helps you choose what is right.
Jesus gives you courage when you feel scared.
Jesus helps you love people—even when it’s hard.
Jesus forgives you and helps you start fresh.
So, when you are kind, sharing, honest, or brave, people are seeing a little bit of Jesus living in you.
Here’s a little picture to help us understand.
Imagine you have a clear cup of water. It looks plain and ordinary.
Now imagine putting just one drop of red food coloring into the cup. Suddenly, the water changes color. The cup looks different because something new is inside it. That’s what happens when Jesus lives in you.
You may look the same on the outside, but on the inside your heart is changing. You grow more loving, patient, and joyful—because Jesus is there.
Let’s Pray Together
Jesus, thank You for loving us. Thank You for living in our hearts. Help us live by faith and let Your love shine through us today. We love You. Amen.
