Sometimes we can talk about a concept so much that it becomes too common. Maybe we have done that with the idea of Jesus "living in us."
Then we read another verse that I have read many times through the years. But it struck me with renewed meaning last night. Here it is:
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promised, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 2 Peter 1: 3-4
Participate in the divine nature? That is an incredible thought! That God would invite me to do that? WOW!

It boggles my mind that there are times I rather live for my own purpose than participate in the divine nature of God. I can't help but wonder how weak I am to give into evil instead of living in the joy of God.
To think about participating in His nature is an incredible thought. Thank you for sharing that.
I'm sure that led to a great conversation.
Or maybe it was one of those silent "Ah-Hah" moments.
