Christ in us

"This is real Christianity .... God put it in failing, faulty, weak, sinful men and women in order that it might be evident that the power does not originate in us.

"It is not a result of a strong personality, or an extroverted nature, or a highly honed and trained mind. No, it is not a result of any of these things. It is something which arises from the presence of God in the heart.

"That is why God so delights to call people like us -- the stupid, the weak, the faulty, the failing -- and to manifest his life and grace through us. "

-Ray C. Stedman
