Having God Within Us
In this reflection on "Having God Within Us," we explore the transformative power of internalizing God’s presence rather than merely acknowledging His external presence. The story of Jesus calming the storm (Mark 4:35-41) serves as a powerful lesson, showing that even though the disciples were physically with Jesus, they still lacked the internalized faith to overcome their fears. This distinction between God being with us and within us challenges us to evaluate whether our faith is merely external or deeply rooted in our hearts. True faith, as Scripture reveals, is about having God’s presence guide our lives constantly, becoming an automatic source of strength, and allowing us to face life’s challenges with confidence.
From the temptation of Eve to the mighty acts of David, Moses, and the apostles, we see the difference that having God within can make. Through deepening our relationship with God, we move from relying on external symbols or rituals to experiencing a genuine connection with Him. This internalized faith empowers us to live out God’s will in our daily lives, reflecting His love and principles in everything we do. True faith isn't about holding onto symbols; it's about embracing a personal, transforming relationship with God that sustains us in all circumstances."
