No Refills Needed

One thing I have learned in my walk with God is that he is faithful. Faithful to deliver and take care of those who love him. He is this power that I can never hope to comprehend and that excites me. I am a problem solver but being humbled by the magnificence of God is truly a powerful experience. There is a line from a song that says "...your fragrance is intoxicating in a secret place". If you cant relate to this line, I pray that you can one day because this line brings me to my knees. I have felt what it is like to be so full of His spirit that I can only smile and laugh and share. But then there is the world.

The world can get to you.

I want to be intoxicated with the fragrance of Christ and his Father. God has given my so much and I want to turn it all over again. It is time that I recommit my life to him.

Passion...it once defined me. I lived with a flare that is my Lord Jesus Christ and I start tonight on a journey to regain that.

I want the dust on my feet again. I want to experience the fullness that he gives.

Colissians 2 is a place that I have found what I am looking for, verses 6-7 and then verse 10:
"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness...and in Christ you have been brought fullness."

I have been brought to fullness in Him. Thank God. And I am to overflow with thankfulness.

It has been a long time since I have written but tonight is the night I recommit. I recommit to reading, studying, wrestling...the keys to development. The keys to knowing my maker and understanding what he has in store for me. I know God is faithful and he will deliver me. My redeemer and refuge.

He will always take me back, nothing I do will make him love me any less. I dont have words for one who loves like that. Like I have already said, I thank God that I dont understand him, that I cant comprehend him because if I could, then I doubt I would be sitting here tonight thinking all these things.

He has made me full, no...he has filled me past my limit and I overflow. I have a surplus of love, sacrifice, mercy and grace that I can never understand. I never need a refill, because he has given me more than enough to begin with and he will never let me dry. He will forever restore me and pick me up.

I trust in the Lord that he will carry me and pick me up. My Lord is faithful to me to the point of overflowing. Praise God.
