“It is no longer I but Christ that lives within me” Gal2:20
All to often we get trapped in our own narrative, our own fake news. We become indentured servants to the self imposed images and expectations of who we are supposed to be or what we think others expect of us.
The ego is a terrible task master, never satisfied, and always seeking control. It fabricates a narrative that runs constantly in the background, accusing, proposing, and spinning half-truths into fear. Focus on it, and we cut ourselves off from Christ who lives within us. The magnificent divinizing presence of Christ is alive in us but we can only access it through surrender and trust. We have to place Him on the throne of our lives if we are to experience interior freedom. His joy becomes our joy, and is completed in us when we let go.
“It is no longer I but Christ that lives in me” Gal2:20
