“ I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.” (Galatians 2:20)
I am Ashley Sidaras and this is my favorite verse in the Bible. Why, you might ask? I love to reflect on this verse because it is a daily reminded that it is not I who am living, but Christ who lives within my heart. I have acknowledged and accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior of my life. Now that I am a part of is reflection of His love and grace, I am reminded by this verse to live as Christ would. I am also reminded that it His will that is to be done and not my own and I am to bring glory to His name through all that I am. If you could not tell by now, I am a Christian, a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. I am an undergraduate student attending Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. I grew up in south Florida, moved to Ohio a few years ago, and am now living in Texas, hopefully fulfilling God’s will for my life. I plan to be a career missionary after I graduate, in what specific field, I am not sure yet. I have a heart for counseling others in their times of trouble, reaching out to those in distress, and experiencing new cultures. I come from a background of many nationalities and therefore have a heart for visiting new places and meeting new people. I pray that within this next semester of blogging, I would be an encouragement and witness to those in need. Until next time, God Bless!
Ashley, daily meditation on the verse you share would be beneficial to us all.
