“THE FULLNESS OF GOD IN YOU”
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15). Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named. 16). That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17). That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18). May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19). And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. 20). Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh within us, 21). Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
EPHESIANS 3:14-21
Have you ever wondered if you are a “whole person”? We all have struggles in life that could make us feel incomplete, but the apostle Paul says we can be “filled with all the fullness of God” (v. 19). What does that look like?
A “whole person” is generally satisfied with life. He feels loved and is able to love others in return. Difficulties and hardships don’t devastate him, because he is able to go through them with confidence in God. He isn’t a complainer or someone who is quick to blame others. A positive attitude guards his mind since he knows that the Lord will work everything out for good (See Romans 8:28).
Being a Christian doesn’t automatically make us feel complete. Fullness comes only when we experience God’s love for us. Once you feel the security of His love for you, you, too, will discover great joy in walking in obedience to His will. You will KNOW you can trust Him to meet all your needs in His time and His way.
Do you feel God’s love, or is it just a biblical fact to you? If you long for wholeness, the key is to experience an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. This is possible only when you’re willing to open up and let the Lord search your heart. He’ll reveal what’s holding you back from accepting His love.
