Act 17:28
(BBE)
For in Him we have life and motion and existence; ascertain of your verse writers have said, For we are His offspring.

There seems to be something in us where we try and do things in our own strength which can cause us to feel tired, frustrated and weak. To be in Him, to acknowledge that we are one with Him is where real life is, Christ in us is where we can stay connected or be entwined with His life. Real life and the ability to really enjoy life comes when we recognize that He is in us. To be in Him is to have vigor and to enjoy being amongst the living, this is where we can be fresh, strong and efficient. When we feel this way we are stirred into action or set in motion. We have our being or we are made to be, in Christ, this is where we belong, this is who we are.
