"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" ~Col 2:9-10~
Have you ever seen the movie Jerry McGuire? Remember that scene, toword the end, when he goes back to get his girl? He begins this long soliloquy, how he began to understand his feelings for her, to fall in love with her, what drew him to her and then he ends it with, "You complete me".
I look back over my life the last few years, and realize this is the story between me and God. He has worked overtime to care for me, to bless me, to love me when my love for Him was humanly half-hearted. He has stood in the background, cheering my victories, crying over my defeats, and rising with vigor to fight my enemies, and always careful to fill my heart with hope to keep striving. He has stayed in my corner, regardless of how silly I looked, how unbelievable my dreams were to everyone around. I know I've needed Him, I depended on Him constantly, knew I couldn't make it without Him. ..... But I've just realized how much He completes me.
No human could ever complete me like He does. No person could ever make me as happy. No one could be so quick to forgive me, and overlook my many faults, always seeing the best in me. No friend could ever be this loyal. No significant other could ever love me this deeply. No bond could make me feel so safe and secure. No presence could ever make me feel such peace regardless of the storm around me. No other would dare to believe in me so much, to care about my deepest desires and dreams, to have unfailing confidence in me to achieve difficult tasks. No other being could fill me with hope and help me to enjoy life, except Him. No other piece could fit my puzzle like God.
Jesus, You complete me. I'm sorry it took me so long to see the depth of this love we share. I love You.
And, I'm sure, just like the girl in the movie...I had Your heart and undivided attention with just my "Hello"...
