I speak to you from the depths of your being.  Hear Me saying soothing words of Peace, assuring you of My Love.  Do not listen to voices of accusation, for they are not from Me.  I speak to you in love-tones, lifting you up.  My Spirit convicts cleanly, without crushing words of shame.  Let the Spirit take charge of your mind, combing out tangles of deception.  Be transformed by the truth that I live within you.

The Light of My Presence is shining upon you, in benedictions of Peace.  Let My Light shine in you; don't dim it with worries or fears.  Holiness is letting Me live through you.  Since I dwell in you, you are fully equipped to be holy.  Pause before responding to people or situations, giving My Spirit space to act through you.  Hasty words and actions leave no room for Me; this is atheistic living.  I want to inhabit all your moments -- gracing your thoughts, words, and behavior.

Just have to add my favorite quote (Lauri):

People are like stained glass windows;

they sparkle and shine when the sun is out,

but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed

only if there is a light within.  ~ Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

Romans 8:1-2 (NLT) 

 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. 

 And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. 

Colossians 1:27 (NLT) 

For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory. 

Colossians 1:27 (MSG) 

 God wanted everyone, not just Jews, to know this rich and glorious secret inside and out, regardless of their background, regardless of their religious standing. The mystery in a nutshell is just this: Christ is in you, therefore you can look forward to sharing in God's glory. It's that simple. That is the substance of our Message. 

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NIV) 

 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 

 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body
