Complete In Him

 

Don’t let
anyone cheat you

with empty traditions
philosophies, deceit

for in Me all
the fullness dwells

in Me you are
complete.

**********

You are with me and complete me.

**********

“Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tadition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.”

“For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily,”

“and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.”

Holy And Blameless

 

I who once was
alienated

am through Your death
reconciled

now in Your sight
I’m blameless

one of God’s
a holy child.

**********

You are with me and have reconciled me by Your death.

**********

“For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell,”

“and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.”

“And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled”

“in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and irreproachable in His sight -“

Colossians 1:19,20,21,22 NKJV

Rooted And Grounded

 

O Lord strengthen us
on the inside

by Your Holy Spirit
and might

filling us with
Your fullness

to know Your love
it’s depth, its height.

**********

I am rooted and grounded in Your love, for You are with me.

**********

“. . . that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, “

“that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,”

“may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height – to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”

Ephesians 3:16,17,18,19 NKJV

The Fullness Of Him

 

We are Your church
Your body
the fullness
of You

Who fills
all in all
and is above
all too.

**********

I am a member of Your body for You are with me.

**********

“And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.”

Ephesians 1:22,23 NKJV

Imagine

 

If their failure
meant our gain

imagine what
fullness will mean?

If their casting away
brought reconciliation

acceptance will be joy
not yet seen!

*********

You are with me as the Root and graft me into Your tree.

*********

“Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!”

“For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?”

Romans 11:12,15 NKJV

Abundantly Satisfied

“They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house,
And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.
For with You is the fountain of life;
in Your light we see light.”  Psalms 36:8-9

Tasting of what pleases God soul-y satisfies us.

Lord, may those who feel unsatisfied today, come and be filled with Your life and light.  And here’s a simple poem . . .

Fulfilled                                                                     

In Your light
we see light

drawn to the
Fountain of Life

drinking from Your
living waters

fulfilled and
satisfied.

“You Are Complete In Him”

“Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the  basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.”   Colossians 2:8-10

I’ve heard about how accessories can complete a look.

Lord, thank You for completing us!  And here’s a simple poem . . .

All the Fullness

We are complete in You                                                                       
for that is what You do
coming to us who are unfinished
and filling us with truth.

We are complete in You
it’s not something we can do
for nothing else can fill us
but the fullness of You.
