The final question in the study was,  “How would my life tomorrow be different if I could live continually with an awareness that Christ is with me and in me?” Here’s my thoughts:

I’ve had this discussion before. In fact I remember where I was and who I was with… It was in my Bible study during my last year of college and the leader of the group had had an experience during the previous week that led him to tell us that we should never forget that Christ is always right there with us. In fact, he said he had been praying when he felt, not just God’s presence, but he felt like Jesus Christ Himself was sitting on the couch beside him. He made us realize that Christ IS always with you, though tough times, good times, and those times when we would rather hide from Him. There is no hiding. We must live our lives as if He is always there, watching… not waiting to catch us in sin, but ready to help, comfort, provide peace, cast out demons, carry us, bring us joy, love us, and so much more beyond what we could even imagine. So how could tomorrow be different? My thoughts would change, because He knows them and I would keep every thought captive. In turn my words would change to reflect my thoughts. Then my actions would change to reflect my words. And then, with time, my character would be molded to reflect Christ’s character. Isn’t that what the one of the main goals of Christian living? I think so.

This first study has been a good reminder that Christ is with us, always. I mean, he is right there, beside you, right now. And no matter what you do, He Loves you.
