We Have Him, We Have All

"For this is the natural yearnings of the soul, by the touching of the Holy Ghost...'God, of Thy Goodness, give me Thyself: for Thou art enough to me, and I may nothing ask that is less that may be full worship to Thee; and if I ask anything that is less, ever me wanteth,—but only in Thee I have all.'"

Julian of Norwich (Ch. 5)

"So you have everything when you have Christ, and you are filled with God through your union with Christ."

Col. 2:10 (TLB)

In Christ God has given us Himself to be joined with our humanity forever. He has given us Himself, and that is more than enough. In fact, He is an infinite supply of all we seek - all the love, all the help, all the companionship, all the peace, all the joy, all the healing, all the goodness, all the victory. It's all wrapped up in Him; He is the total package and total answer for us. Anything or anyone else that we seek after will eventually not be enough for us. But He is enough for us! In Him, we have all we need, all seeking is at an end, all yearnings cease, and we have rest. All is complete, all is well. We already have Him; we already have all. Anything less leaves us wanting, but with Him we are filled full in completeness, with nothing missing or lacking, because we are filled full of God Himself. 

A Prayer: In You, I have everything!


May the amazing grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, and the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. 2 Co. 13:14
