Crucified with Christ

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. (Galatians 2:20)

Countless icebergs float in the frigid waters around Greenland. Some are tiny; others tower skyward. At times the small ones move in one direction while their gigantic counterparts go in another. The small ones are subject to surface winds, but the huge ice masses are carried along by deep ocean currents.

Our lives are subject to two similar forces. The winds represent everything changeable, unpredictable, distressing. But [there is]...another force more powerful than anything on the surface. It's the sure movement of God's purposes and the deep flow of His unchanging love. It's in that unseen current that we must rest the destiny of our souls.
