Do not look at any situation in your life as if Jesus is not there. Paul’s example in Ephesians is extraordinary.
In that day you will know that I am in my father and my father is in me and I am in you.
There is not a circumstance that you have been through or will go through that I am not there. You don’t get a say in that. I love you! I will not leave you nor will I forsake you, ever. You are my child. You have my mind. The mind of Christ.
Walk in my ways because that is who you are!
Ephesians 4.1 The fact that I am in prison does not in the least diminish my awareness of my “in-Christ-ness!” My complete existence is defined and confined in him. Let the detail of your day-to-day life 3flow from the consciousness of your true 2identity and 3worth, as defined in him. (Paul writing from prison, but seeing himself co-seated together with Christ in heavenly places! Eph 2:6. No distraction or contradiction can reduce his life to any other reality. “Walking worthy of your calling” I have replaced with, “Let the detail of your day-to-day life flow from the consciousness of your true identity and worth as defined in him. The word 1parakaleo, inspired from within to live the life of your design. Your calling or vocation, from 2kaleo, to surname, to identify by name. To 3walk worthy, axios, meaning having the weight of another thing of like value, worth as much.)
You are my child who I am well pleased with! You got my will pleased, before you did anything!
Matthew 6.6
