The Fullness of God

When we become content with only part of God we find ourselves always thirsty, always hungry, coming to God for food and sustenance but never satisfied with the meal. Feeling God is withholding something from us, we search outside the realm of His provision for fulfillment. Sometimes we do not allow ourselves to see all of God because we do not trust Him with all of us. Yet we cannot know Him fully unless we allow Him to fully know us. And to know God in His fullness we need to make room for Him. We need to get rid of those things which clutter our lives and fill our thoughts so that God can have room to fill us back up with Himself. To be filled with all the fullness of God is to be like Christ in whom “it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness of Himself to dwell.” We need to imitate Christ, relying on the Father for all things, doing and speaking only what we see the Father do and hear the Father say; So that in us all the fullness of Deity can dwell in bodily form.
