God's address

The Lord is above all. There are so many distractions in life and the key to success is to stay focussed. Focus is difficult when the brain is bombarded with so many inputs from within and without. Yet a man whose mind is stayed on Him will flourish like the tree beside still waters. He will never grow dry because the Lord will control his mind. He will be like a well watered garden and many will come to him to be refreshed in His presence. His presence is in you and with you. You carry His presence wherever you go. This is the beauty of the gospel. God did not just give us a gift. He came to take residence in us. Usually a gift is something different from the giver of the gift. God's gift is Himself and He comes and takes residence in us. It is like  a life exchange. He gives His life as a gift for ours. His life becomes our life through the gift of His Son, Jesus. What a gift is this? The giver of the gift is the gift. God the three in one comes to dwell in me the temple of the living God. God's address is me.
