He not me

Galatians 2:20 (New Living Translation) 20 My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Galatians 3:3-5 (New International Version) 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort? 4 Have you suffered so much for nothing—if it really was for nothing? 5 Does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe the law, or because you believe what you heard?

Isaiah 55:8-9 (New Living Translation) 8 “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. 9 For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

Exodus 16:25-26 (NIV) 25 There the LORD made a decree and a law for them, and there he tested them. 26 He said, "If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you."

Refine Me by Jennifer Knapp
I come into this place burning to receive your peace. I come with my own chains from wars I've fought for my own selfish gain. You're my God and my Father. I've accepted your Son, but my soul feels so empty now. What have I become? Lord, come with your fire, burn my desires; refine me. Lord, my will has deceived me, please come and free me. Refine me. My heart can't see when I only look at me. My soul can't hear when I only think of my own fears. They are gone in a moment; You're forever the same. Why did I look away from You? How can I speak Your name?

Matthew 11:28-30 (New International Version) 28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

Matthew 11:28-30 (New Century Version) 28 Come to me, all of you who are tired and have heavy loads, and I will give you rest. 29 Accept my teachings and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in spirit, and you will find rest for your lives. 30 The burden that I ask you to accept is easy; the load I give you to carry is light.

Matthew 11:28-30 (Contemporary English Version) 28 If you are tired from carrying heavy burdens, come to me and I will give you rest. 29 Take the yoke I give you. Put it on your shoulders and learn from me. I am gentle and humble, and you will find rest. 30 This yoke is easy to bear, and this burden is light.
