I have been thinking about this passage a lot lately. I have been wondering if I really live as though the power of Christ dwells in me. Unfortunately, the biggest obstacle that blocks the power of the Holy Spirit is ......me. I make up excuses....if only I had more time....more resources.....more talent....more opportunity-- I could do so much more. I have discovered that I am much better at making excuses than I am in exploring the living, powerful, mysterious Presence of the One who dwells in me. I feel that I have only scratched the surface, but it is time to break the glass and allow God's Spirit to do more in my life. I no longer wished to be controlled by what I perceive to be my limitations. God lives in me, and I need to stop limiting His power by my weaknesses. I need to hand my small thoughts and actions to God and let His powerful Spirit take over. Dwelling with the Spirit is so much more than I ever realized!
