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


A soldier of Napoleon's great army was wounded one day by a bullet which entered his breast above his heart; he was carried to the rear, and the surgeon was probing the wound with his knife, when at length the guardsman exclaimed, "An inch deeper, and you will find the emperor." And the Christian soldier, even when most sorely pressed and pierced by his foes, is conscious that were his heart laid open by their wounds, it would only discover the name of his great Captain deeply engraven there.
