I am complete in Christ!
Colossians 2:9-10
Complete in Christ!!!!! what a thought- its so hard yet so easy to understand- it means that I am whole and I need nothing added but him - it means I am lacking nothing... I often try so hard to find those things that will make me happy, that will make me feel satisfied when over and over again God shows himself to be the answer to all those questions.
Two things happened to me this week- 1) I taught Sunday School 2) Someone who I knew died.
this week in Sunday we were learning about spreading the message of Jesus how it is so awesome that Christ made the choice to die for us and how we are made whole and perfect through him- as I told my students about these truths I was once again struck with the meaninglessness of self. How much I focus on myself- with the death of a friend who was my age the reality of life seemed to slam me- what am I doing wasteing time thinking about myself when life is short and when my Creator who has made no mistake has asked me to share his love? So often I am afraid of stating my beliefs- afraid of rejection- afraid of disapproval...
Afraid of approval, afraid of what man will say, Wanting to please God by sharing his Good News that the acceptance we are looking for is in Christ.... ironic
As I wrote out what had happened to me over the week I seemed to relearn the lessons- and the progress I have made in one week has been small- but its been there.
I am finding more and more why God would set me on this journey
Until tomorrow lovely ladies- remember in Him and Him only will you find completeness- keep searching for that inner beauty!
