I praise & thank You O God & Father! Your intent and pleasure, is to have Christ Your very Son: be revealed in me as the Spirit within; be wrought in me to be my all; may live in me to work inwardly; be formed in me to grow inwardly; make home in me to dwell inwardly; be my hope of glory subjectively; and be all in me eternally! Oh what a Christ I have inside of me! I love You, dear Lord!

It is God’s intent and pleasure
To have Christ revealed in me,
Nothing outward as religion,
But His Christ within to be.
God's revealing of His Son to us is in us; it is not outward but inward, not by an outward vision but by an inward seeing. It is not an objective revelation but a subjective one. - Gal 1:16, fn. 3, "in"

It is God's intent and pleasure
That His Christ be formed in me;
Not the outward forms to follow,
But Christ growing inwardly!
1 John 4:13 In this we know that we abide in Him and He in us,
that He has given to us of His Spirit.

That His Christ be wrought in me...
2 Cor 5:5 - Now He who has wrought us for this very thing is God, who has given to us the Spirit as a pledge.
Wrought:
Or, fashioned, shaped, prepared, made fit. God has wrought us, fashioned us, shaped us, prepared us, made us fit, for the very purpose that our mortal body might be swallowed up by His resurrection life.
Pledge:
Eph 1:14 - Who is the pledge of our inheritance unto the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
God is not interested in our enjoying Him merely as a good taste. His good pleasure is for Christ to be revealed in us, to live in us, to be formed in us, to make His home in us, to be assimilated by us, and to become us (Gal. 1:15-16; 2:20; 4:19; Eph. 3:17; Hymns, #538). This is accomplished by our eating of Christ (John 6:57). Every day and all day long we need to eat Jesus until He becomes us by being digested and assimilated in us.
God's good pleasure is what makes God happy. It is what God likes, what pleases God. We have a hymn in our hymnal which speaks of God's intent and pleasure (see Hymns, #538). God has predestinated us unto sonship according to the good pleasure of His will (Eph. 1:5). This means that God likes to have sons. His predestination is unto sonship. Unto means for or in view of. God's predestination of us is for His sonship or in view of His sonship. God is happy and glad about gaining sons. It is His good pleasure to have us as His sons.
God has made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself (Eph. 1:9). First, there is God's will, second God's purpose, and third God's pleasure.
