Reflection on Today's Verse
Christ doesn’t move into your heart on a trial basis. He dwells… He settles in. That truth reshapes everything. When your roots go deep into His love, storms don’t decide your stability. Feelings may rise and fall, circumstances may shake you, but your standing doesn’t change. Growth flows best from rest, not pressure. Grace anchors you before it ever stretches you.
Personal Prayer
Father God, thank You that Christ dwells in my heart by faith, not by my performance. Help me to rest in Your love and to be rooted where fear cannot uproot me.
Strengthen me in the inner man, that I may live from security, not striving. Let Your love be the ground beneath my feet today. In Jesus’ name, Amen. (1)
