He is My Everything






...Christ in you, the hope of glory





Christ is all and in all to souls truly gracious (Colossians 3:11)



We have all things in Christ, and Christ is all things to a Christian:


If we be sick, He is a physician
If we thirst, He is a fountain
If our sins trouble us, He is righteousness
If we stand in need of help, He is mighty to save
If we fear death, He is life
If we be in darkness, He is light
If we be weak, He is strength
If we be in poverty, He is plenty
If we desire heaven, He is the way


The soul cannot say, this I would have, and that I would have;
but saith Christ, it is in Me,
it is in Me, eminently, perfectly, eternally.


Luther said, he had rather be in hell with Christ,
than in heaven without Him.


None but Christ, none but Christ, said Lambert the martyr,
lifting up his hands and his fingers flaming.












(Colossians 1:27) (Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices: Thomas Brooks)
