Below is from "The Supplied Life." We had a really good time in the brothers' breakfast today, singing and sharing along the lines of, "Unto thee oh Lord, do I lift up my soul!" We can take everything to Him, because He paid ALL the penalty, so He could come live in us! There is nothing we can't, or shouldn't take to Him - even our unbelief. Just as I am, without one plea - this is why He died . . . so we have complete, open and guiltless access to God 24/7. Anything else is an accusation, that can be easily answered by the blood of Christ. And we know the penalty for sin is fully paid, because He lives in us (via the resurrection)!
So now He lives in me and is my relationship with the Father, with sin, with the world, and even with myself!
Oh hallelujah we serve a risen Savior who's in the world today living in His believers! 
Quote:
The exclusive relationship April 1st
"Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one
comes to the Father except through Me." JOHN 14:6
God established a relationship with His Son, and then He took
that relationship and put it into our heart. Now, Christ is my
relationship with the Father. This is the meaning of John 14:6 where
Jesus revealed that no one can come to the Father except through
Him. In other words, He is the One who exclusively has a relation-
ship with the Father. Christ being my relationship with the Father
is also the meaning of Galatians 4:6, where the Spirit of His Son is
sent forth into our hearts, crying, "Abba, Father!"
Based upon these facts, we need to reevaluate the source of our
relationship with God. Is Christ the source of our relationship with
God? Or are we the source? Instead of considering how our
relationship with God is and how well we are doing, we need to
consider how His relationship with God is, and how well He is doing.
To look at our feelings, our condition, our day, our history, or our
prospects for the future is to be in the wrong realm. As long as we
remain in the realm of our self and our relationship with God, we
will invariably fall into the pit of discouragement and condemnation.
Our relationship with God is not in the realm of ourselves. Our
relationship with God is Jesus Christ.
