He lives where?
'It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.' Galatians 2:20
I bet you didn't realise your body was a house, did you? I'm not talking three bedrooms, bathroom, lounge-diner, kitchen and a backyard though; I'm talking about a house for Jesus. Did you know that He lives in you? When you give your life to God, He gives you Jesus to help guide you as part of the deal, and Jesus lives in you.
Now, that's not like Patrick Swayze's character in 'Ghost' when he goes into Whoopi Goldberg's body and she ends up with his voice and everything, then he gets spat out after a few minutes, exhausted. It's not even like the old classic film 'Innerspace' (if you've not seen it, get yourself a copy!) where a guy is made mini in an experiment, and injected into someone during a robbery, and he floats around inside their body trying to find a way out, rapidly running out of oxygen.
When Jesus is 'in' you, it means He's there in your heart, He wants to be a part of every decision you make, and He's there for good. Nothing will get rid of Him, and He's there to help you - not hinder you. Think of Him a bit like a best friend, always there to talk to and ask advice from, or a compass there to give you the best directions. But whatever you do - don't ignore Him. He's there to help, so make the most of it.
