I frequently lose myself. I’ve discovered that my conscience can be made clean by my confession and by God’s forgiveness, but never by my denial. By always facing towards God’s light, I see “Christ in you, the hope of glory,” and He sets me free from the shackles of the dark shadows of sin and guilt within me.

Where do I put myself so that I can enjoy a wonderful life full of the fruit and the gifts of God’s Spirit? I lose myself in Jesus Christ and strive to stay ever aware of His presence.
