The Mystery Of Christ In You

“The very energy that propels us to do the hard works — it is God himself. It is a grace. It is a given gift. You would not be able to do the work that Christ is calling to unless you had this tremendous force inside of you. Do you believe it? Do you believe the mystery of Christ inside of you? I love this. We can work only because God is working. His energy so powerfully works in me. Isn't that amazing? When we work, it's because God is working, and Paul is not bragging about himself. He's not saying I'm super powerful, look at everything I did. He's saying: Jesus is the dynamo in my heart. That's the mystery.”
