Now read this! Consciousness: We all have it, but none of us really knows what it is or how it works, yet we can focus it as we choose.

When reason results in no realistic answers, perhaps it’s time to surrender to the voice of the risen Jesus and let Him take over. There’s no format or formula for awareness “Christ in you” — just surrender.

A glove, frozen solid, won’t bend with your hand. A frozen heart and/or mind won’t bend when prompted by the living Jesus.

I’ve found that if I let Jesus personally guide you thru life’s rapids, it’s much more effective than standing in life’s turbulence and trying to control it. To led by the living Jesus is to be free from the domination of desire, feelings, fears, and anger. However, when my words aren’t kind and Christ-led, my life won’t be either.
