lacking nothing. complete in Christ.

More than thankful that Herschel and I have changed so dramatically over the course of our relationship.  Emotionally, of course.  What?  Have we changed physically or something?  Weird.  BAM.  Oh, I see it.  I just got hit in the face from one of my own cheeks in this photograph.

An intimate relationship with the Lord is all you need.

How refreshing is it to know that God doesn’t require us to understand all of His complexities? God makes it simple or us. All that is required is to know that He loved us enough to send His only Son to pay the debt of our sins and we must then put our trust in Him. We do not need to be biblical scholars in order to intimately connect with the King of Kings, though the extra knowledge may be beneficial. God loved us long before we ever understood the concept of love or anything else. He loved us before we were formed and created by His wonderful craftsmanship. The Gospel speaks for itself. It does not require eloquence or perfection to have power. There is no reason to feel inadequate. Knowing Christ provides whatever we need where we lack it. Jesus compensates for our shortcomings. Because of the price Jesus paid, we can boast in our weaknesses because that’s where His power is perfectly demonstrated to showcase His strength. we know that the Holy Spirit is indeed enough.
