Jun. 17, 2008 - When Jesus' Power is Formed in Me...
That is the title of the devotion I read a minute ago. It is by Brennan Manning...I love his writing. Something I read resonated in me like a gong. I will share part of it. Its from the book Reflections for Ragamuffins.
"Am I unjustly criticized, rejected, betrayed by a friend? I can touch the life of Jesus who faced the same things and can will myself to respond as He did. The power of his Spirit passes into my spirit, and the purpose of Pentecost is fulfilled: Christ is formed within me not just in peak moments or transcendental experience but in the nitty-gritty of daily life."
Thats all I want. Christ to be formed in me. In my hurt and betrayal, Christ is formed in me. I can't forget that he has felt these things, too.
May Christ be formed in me. May my heart be His.
