****And I have Christ dwelling in my hearth through faith.****

And therein lies the heart of the matter. Pride.

It’s a lovely and wondrous thing to have Christ dwelling in us, but there is no comparison as much as one might want to think there is, to bearing Him as one’s child.

You're right. Christ dwelling in my heart is far more permanent and intimate than carrying Him around in the womb.

And I've been pregnant and know the difference. Christ is in my heart, knows my thoughts, desires, wants, and needs. The babies I carried I carried for 9 months, and it was over. They were out and never became part of me the way Jesus has living in my heart.

There's just no comparison and no way that pregnancy can supersede having Jesus IN me.

And therein lies the heart of the matter. Pride.

I'll also try to remember this.
