"In Him are hidden, all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge"
As a follower of Christ, we are given a deep desire to be better, more, faithful, to be FULL of Christ.
I realize as the years pass, that we will never get to experience the fullness of Christ if we are looking to ourselves. We cannot possibly experience His fullness when our mind is centered on ourselves when worshiping Him. Perhaps we can find glimpses of His love, but I want to see ALL of what God has for me...to be used completely for his Kingdom. It has to be completely about HIM. After all, as Christians, isn't that what we believe? Isn't that why we are to take up His cross and follow Him?
The “fullness of God” is experienced, Paul says, as we are given the “strength to comprehend” the love of Christ in its height and depth and length and breadth—that is, in its fullness. The fullness of God is the spiritual apprehension (experience) of the fullness of the love of Christ. This love is the grace and truth that fills the Son of God and pours out on us.
THese photos we took over the weekend in Jackson Hole....a special place.
I cannot look at these pictures without being completely engulfed in God's grace. To be "in" these places of wonder and beauty and to get to experience them with my little family is so humbling, and is constantly developing a spirit of deeper thankfulness in me that I don't ever want to give up.
Moving out here we gave up a lot, foregoing comfort, convenience, friends, family, familiarity. But, oh...oh what we would have missed. How we must follow His fullness to see the blessings!!!!! By listening to God's voice and sensing His tender Spirit, we can find the wonderful FULLNESS in Him that is Grace upon Grace...upon Grace...upon Grace.....
HE IS OUR GREAT REWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you have a WONDERFUL weekend!!!!!!!!
