That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted
and grounded in love. Ephesians 3:17

Napoleon was a general who generated tremendous love and loyalty
among his troops. The story is told of a soldier badly wounded
in battle. The surgeon was cutting deep to remove the bullet. Between
groans and cries the soldier muttered, “Probe deeper and you will
find the Emperor.” So what is deep in our hearts? What has priority
in our lives ? Is it money? Is it pleasure? Is it family? Paul’s prayer for
believers was that Christ might be enshrined in our hearts as our
Lord and Saviour. Probe your own heart today. —Donald L. Norbie

With longing all my heart is filled, that like Him I may be,
As on the wondrous thought I dwell, that Christ liveth in me.
—Daniel W. Whittle
