Philippians 4:21-23, "Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you. All the saints greet you, especially those of Caesar's household. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit."
Therefore
"With your spirit." From the inside out.
How often do we gauge our actions and attitudes from the outside circumstances and turn towards inner spirit only when we realize we cannot handle it on our own strength?
Those in Caesar's household welcomed with an open heart in all situations--and were not in a safe environment. We too actually live in Caesar's household in our world too. And here also we can stay in the light and truth and live into our faith. But that does not mean life will be easy.
However the promise is that the Lord will give us His strength and His guidance in ALL circumstances. From the inside-out--even when the outcome involves a death: of dreams or freedom or relationships or life.
His grace is timeless. His mercy everlasting.
Your thoughts,
