You’ve aimed to let this be the theme of your life—living in union with me—but you have been neglecting one area. In order for you to truly be one with me, you must allow yourself to be fully consumed with me. Fully consumed—spirit, soul, and body. That means not only is your spirit aware of me and sensing my presence, but so is your soul, and ultimately your body. Today, I remind you that I want every part of you to be free. The issue is that when your mind is consumed with your problems, you’re not experiencing the fullness of my love. I want you to find true freedom in complete oneness with me. So let your mind come into agreement with me. Trust me and completely resign your will to mine. Release those cares into my hands. Either you can be in control of them or I can. But if you let me have control, you will finally experience the freedom and unity with me that you desire. You’ll finally have peace. The mind-set of the flesh is death, But the mind-set controlled by the Spirit finds life and peace. ROMANS 8:6
