Day 4 - You Complete Me

And you are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and power. Colossians 2:10

How we see ourselves differs greatly from how God see us.  Being on God's team has nothing to do with how high you can jump or fast you can run.  To begin with, no one is good enough to make the team.  When you look at yourself, you see what you are not, but God sees a finished product.  Stop looking at yourself as the sum total of your experiences and begin to see yourself in Christ.  Yes, you have limitations but He does not.  You are on His team out of your need to lean not your ability to leap.

God desires to reveal His glory to the world through you.  That's why the highest positions on His team go to the least of us.  Consequently, the more inadequate you feel, the more potential you have to play a role in God's plan.  The places of honor go to those who are empty and hungry.  How empty are you?  How hungry are you? Adam and Eve were naked and not ashamed because the glory of God covered them. God always invests His glory in the implausible because it becomes ever so clear He did it and no one else.  Thus, He never calls you to accomplish anything you can do in your own strength.  When you love the unlovable, do the impossible and touch the intangible, He gets all the praise.

So, do not focus on yourself because you have everything when you have Christ.  Less is more.  You can do all things through Christ who gives you the strength and power.  No more excuses. Your emptiness releases His fullness. Sickness, poverty, fear, doubt, , etc., all of which are no match.  Stop trying to figure out your own battle plan.  Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.  You plus Christ make up the majority.   So face this day with a blessed assurance and know that with God nothing is impossible. Lift your head, square your shoulders and say to God, "You complete me".


Prayer:
Father, I thank you that Christ lives in me and I in Him.  I know when self reigns, I am at war with You. I will not seek honor, promotion or acclaim.  I will seek You. You complete me, in Jesus name, Amen.
