Christ lives in you. It is written, “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20)

Christ lives in you. As you meditate on this miraculous truth, allow your heart to overflow with joy.

You and God cannot be separated. Christ has made our body His home and He’s not a short term tenant. He’s not going to leave simply because we don’t have a clean living space.

Just like when we move into a house, when Christ moves in, He begins to renovate us from the inside out.

As we all know, renovations can often be quite painful. God wants us to cling to Him during times of transformation. Especially when the transformation is painful. God wants us to live in faith in the One who loved us, and gave Himself for us.

As we continue to yield to Christ’s renewal within us, we’re able to transform more fully into the masterpiece that God designed us to be.

For more encouragement and to deepen your faith, I highly recommend reading the Bible daily. http://www.gotquestions.org is one of my favorite sites for questions about the Bible.

It’s a strange thing when you start to feel better after thinking you never would. It’s even stranger when you want to love again after losing the love of your life. A part of you says, “No, you can’t! It’d be a betrayal.” But another part of you, the better part of you, screams, “Yes! Live again! Love again!”

Truth is, he is the love of my life. And that will never change. But he is the love of that life. No doubt in my mind he was the soul mate for that me. But when you lose someone who is the most important part of your life, your world changes. And so do you. Inevitably and irreversibly, you’re not the same person you were. And now I understand, there’s going to be another perfect person for the new me. Another love of my new life. And that person will in no way undermine his position in my heart.

Some people only get to live one life, but I’ve been given two. Perhaps, as we each navigate this world and our relationships, we can all see it as a new life each time we cycle round and round.

Finally, I realize there is no better way to honor him and our love then by embracing my new life and finding a new person to love. I am ready.
