We are as He is, even in this world..!
I have come across this verse in 1John 4:17 that I have found encouraging and astounding to meditate on. The context of this verse is living a life of Love; letting love have the run of the house. (The Message) As we do this and let the love of God become perfected and mature in us.... are you ready for this... We become as Christ is, even in this world. Just as Christ is right now, I am. Not when I get to heaven, but right now...even in this world...! Think of how Christ is right now. Free, healed, sin free, full of joy, full of love, prosperous, a conqueror...! Let this verse in its context roll over and over again in your mind and in your spirit. When you lay hands on the sick, it's just like Jesus laying His hands on them. When you need something from your Heavenly Father, you have Jesus standing with Him, even in this world, to ask anything according to His will and expect to receive it. All for His glory...! I am challenged to live this way. How about you...?

Psst...I have something secret to say...
For it has pleased God to tell his people that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles too (that means us). For this is the secret: Christ lives in you!
