Guilt
Shame
Sin
Judgment
make us feel empty
hollow
lacking
condemned
and our souls echo back
the sound
of hopelessness
But You, God
You are FULL
You are everything
You are abundant
You are plenty
and overflowing
Your Fullness
replenishes us
with grace
upon grace
upon grace
because we need it, Lord
We need the Full
that You give willingly
to the ones You created
Our empty
is met
with grace
accepted
and we become beings
overflowing with the love
that You gave us
Fully
– Susie Stewart
Out of His fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given.
– John 1:16 (NIV)
The heart overflows in the words a person speaks; your words reveal what’s within your heart.
– Luke 6:45 (VOICE)
When I think of the greatness of this great plan I fall on my knees before God the Father (from whom all fatherhood, earthly or heavenly, derives its name), and I pray that out of the glorious richness of His resources He will enable you to know the strength of the spirit’s inner re-inforcement—that Christ may actually live in your hearts by your faith. And I pray that you, firmly fixed in love yourselves, may be able to grasp (with all Christians) how wide and deep and long and high is the love of Christ—and to know for yourselves that love so far beyond our comprehension. May you be filled though all your being with God himself!
– Ephesians 3:18-20 (PHILLIPS)
For God in all His fullness
was pleased to live in Christ,
and through Him God reconciled
everything to Himself.
He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth
by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.
– Colossians 1:19,20 (NLT)
