"You are everything that is good in me." ~ Detective Mac Taylor to his girlfriend Christine in last night's episode of CSI New York.
The line was poignant, and struck a nerve deep in my soul. It got me asking this question, "Who is it in my life that I can make that statement to?"
Nobody really.
Except Jesus. Only Jesus. Always Jesus.
Jesus is everything that is good in me.
If there is any good in the human heart (which I believe there is) it is the gift of God.
If there is shalom in me it is Jesus' shalom which he imparts to me.
If I love it is because Jesus first loved me (1 John 5).
If I forgive it is because Jesus has forgiven me.
Mac Taylor is almost right. He is missing the source - Jesus. HE is everything that is good in me.
