Colossians 2:10 - ...And ye are complete in him...
⌚
You are complete in Him.Those words are meant to be a comfort from the Holy Spirit. For me, they are a constant gentle (and sometimes not so gentle) argument in my heart from the Holy Spirit.
While I roll my eyes at the picture the author of the prompt used to represent her meaning of "complete," He reminds me:
You are complete in Me.
As I watch coworkers who've told me they only make friends outside of work talk about the friendships they enjoy inside of work, He reminds me:
You are complete in Me.
As I reach out to try to connect with my church family and get shot down over and over again, He reminds me:
You are complete in Me.
As single women over the age of 18 are berated for not doing their "God-given duty" by being a wives an moms while the divorce rate is skyrocketing, He reminds me:You are complete in Me.
While I fight the belief that I am a broken piece just trying to find somewhere to fit, He reminds me:
You are complete in Me.
