What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

I was looking over some of my favorite quotes I had saved earlier, and this one struck me particularly tonight. I really love it. Sometimes, I get caught up in what's going to happen, how I've failed before, etc, etc...and I forget that all I should really care about is that Jesus is dwelling in me, and He has conquered everything, even death. And I have no reason to be anxious or upset or fearful or anything. Only content.

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:14-19

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
