Colossians 1:19

FULLNESS

Colossians 1:19. "For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;"

FULLNESS. Usually, I use the words "full" or "fill" as verbs, But when God is in the picture things can easily change. For in Him, there is a totality of power, That makes it understandable what to a natural man is strange. The fullness of Divine Persons is seen in One. There is in the body of One, all Three. Each One has unique things they do; Different Persons but One in unity.

When I see Christ, I will see Him in His body. The same one He had when He was here below. In that body, He lived and labored, And in that body the marks of His passion show. In that Person, I can see displayed Evidence of God's mercy and God's grace. There is in Him such real compassion - That is the path of the love of God we can easily trace.

In Him and from Him there comes to us, The blessings of God are daily given in Jesus' name.

For those who know Him, we can trust, That good or bad, He has controlled what to us came. As days and years before us do unfold - In the course of life on earth we are called to live, We can be sure is under His direction, And of His fullness, we will still receive.

"Father, I rest in my mind more quietly now after listening to Thy voice and getting more assurance regarding the action I must take. May my actions in the matter before me, give me a greater appreciation of Thy fullness and willingness to meet every need, even if it is not in ways that I may not have thought of. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen."
