In Christ I am: \u00a0COMPLETE
\n<\/u>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.\u00a0 Colossians 2:9-10 NKJV<\/em><\/p>\n

Wow!\u00a0 This verse says it all!\u00a0 It tells us who Christ is and also who we are in Him.
\nIn Him we are Complete\u2014He is the fullness of the Godhead bodily.\u00a0 He is the head of all angels and demons and any power that exists. In Him there is nothing more we could need or desire.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

His presence encompasses us as St. Patrick said:
\n\u201cChrist with me,<\/em>
\nChrist before me,<\/em>
\nChrist behind me,<\/em>
\nChrist in me,<\/em>
\nChrist beneath me,<\/em>
\nChrist above me,<\/em>
\nChrist on my right,<\/em>
\nChrist on my left,<\/em>
\nChrist when I lie down,<\/em>
\nChrist when I sit down,<\/em>
\nChrist when I arise,\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

For the LORD will go before you, And the God of Israel will be your rear guard.\u00a0 <\/em>Isaiah 52:12<\/p>\n

\u00a0You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head.\u00a0 <\/em>Psalm 139:5<\/p>\n

Believers, we are truly blessed!\u00a0 We are Complete in Him!<\/p>\n
