The Incompleteness Of Me...

 

The question is, what are you strong in?

When I was young my body was strong... it was my god.

I found my completeness in it.

In the gym, morning and evening.

I rode my bike. I ran. 

I still ride my bike.

  I do yoga, pilates...

My body is strong, though not as a twenty year old. 

 

I will care for this temple, respect it,

but not as a youth.

 With age, my mind has benefited, becoming

stronger than as a youth.

Over time I have filled it with truth, wisdom... and junk.

There will always be junk.

 I sort through it, tossing it off, away from me.

Proverbs 2:6 "For the Lord gives skillful and Godly wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding."

In the depth of my heart and soul, I seek truth. 

 When I reach the end of me, I reach wisdom.

When I am incomplete... I find my completeness.

In God, my strength.

Philippians 4:13  "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

I will be stronger than I think, because He lives in me.

I will recognize my incompleteness, my limits, my humanness,

  my sin. 

He will have His way in me.

Isaiah 41:10 "Fear not; for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

 My body may despise me someday, leaving me weak, unable to do what I do today.

My mind, if stayed on Christ, will remain rooted in Truth. 

He will make me complete.

This is the completeness I desire.

What makes you complete today?

Is it your physical body, your outward beauty...

or your desire to find your worth in Him?
