“This day, Lord, I thank You that I am in You and You are in me. Thank You that no matter how I feel, I abide in You. Thank You, Lord, that it is not a position I must struggle to maintain, for You have put me there. This moment is all I will be concerned for. I accept my position of abiding with joy.”  ”

“DAY 2 Add a One to All Your Zeros   Jesus said to him, “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”  — John 14:6   While I was in India speaking at a school, one of the dorm parents asked to talk to me. He turned out to be a great blessing to me as he sat sharing about so many things. He had been a Brahman, one of the elite of Hinduism, worshipped as a god. He had always been taught that there were many ways to God, and yet he began to wonder, “Do I have the right way?” It was this questioning and the Holy Spirit that had brought him to Jesus. Once he confessed his faith, he was banned from going to his house, and after sixteen years, his father died without reconciliation. He is now tolerated and allowed to visit his house, so long as he does not stay. He really does not care, for he has found Jesus. The most interesting point he made was about writing on a chalkboard his qualifications for being a Christian. Under talent he put zero. Under ability he put zero. Under intelligence: zero. Under people skills he put zero. In every category, he put a zero. He looked on the board and all he had written was a line of zeros. Then a man said to him, “Let me show you something. All you have are zeros, six to be exact. Now we will add one to all the zeros, the only ONE that matters. We will add Jesus to all your zeros.” The man then put a one at the front of all the zeros and said, “See? When I added the ONE to the front, where Jesus belongs, your zeros have now become one million. Add Jesus to your zeros and your weaknesses become your strength.”

“At the time the New Testament was written, smelters would heat up gold in order to extract the dross. After cooling, the gold would again be heated and more dross removed. This process continued until the smelter could see his reflection in the gold, at which time he would be assured that it was pure. The gold was not added during each heating, for it always existed in the ore. Rather, it was being more fully revealed. Just so, the believer, at any given moment, possesses all of Christ that he ever will.”

“The normal Christian life is one of problems, but always remember that every problem has passed through the hand of a loving Father and carries with it, before it ever arrives, an express, intrinsic purpose. Those in the midst of affliction usually find the purpose hidden, but the experienced sufferer knows it will prove to be glorious. Problems are God’s main tool for bringing us to the end of our own resources and into the deep experience of all His riches.”
