Are you alive?

“Friends, whatever is not Christ living in us or is not Christ as our truth—that is, whatever is done on the basis of a doctrine—is dead work. It has no life, it is not living. Do you see the difference here? It is a difference too vast to go unnoticed. Work requires our memory, but life acts spontaneously. A word spoken out of life is not propelled by our memory, rather is it motivated by a power within us. The Lord, not doctrine nor teaching, is in control over us. There must be a day when God opens our eyes to perceive that spiritual reality is in Christ. We do not try to remember certain doctrines and act accordingly; it is Christ who lives in us. He is our truth, therefore it is living.”
~WATCHMAN NEE

Today…I want to be LIVING and BREATHING the Life that only Christ can give. How did this thought strike you? Did it ring true to you?
