Being What You've Become

I fear we have been wrapped up in what Jesus can do for us, rather than who Jesus is.The "being experience" is vitally different.It shouts the truth that Jesus does not want to give you anything; rather He wants to BE something within you. Jesus does not want to GIVE you forgiveness; He wants to BE Forgiveness within you. Jesus does not want to GIVE you strength; He wants to BE Strength within you. This basically means one thing: the need of your life is singular. You do not need happiness, joy, peace, forgiveness, life, truth, strength, etc. You need Jesus. When you possess Him, all of these things are possessed as a by-product of His great presence! Therefore, the Christian experience is the presence of another Person (God) inside your life.
