Partners With Christ

This process of staying surrendered and letting Christ work in you is not as passive as that might sound. Yes, the Lord has gone out of his way to make us his own. Yes, he died and rose again. He sent the Holy Spirit to teach and guide us. He's invested his own life to make us holy, and he'll take what we offer him and make it into something good. But we're still expected to partner in the process. The Savior reassures me, " Yes, your salvation is my work. It is finished. I did it on the cross. But now I want to partner with you in living it out." (From:Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World)
