..fullness in Christ... a glimpse of Heaven...

and I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,  may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,  and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:17-19)

fullness, for me it is this feeling of being surrounded by the soft and sweet affection of the Lord, as in a cocoon , protected and kept safe by everlasting love... filled with the strength to go on with a smile that comes from deep within... a smile because of an absolute assurance of his undying love and commitment, His faithfulness and delight in me, lowly me, nothing to offer in return than my whole entire being... my desires and hopes, dreams and aspirations....a love so heavenly, so divine.... out of this world, really...

fullness... I think I experienced this on my trip that I feel my Abba Father put together down to the littlest detail to make me feel special.... it boggles my mind He would care that much...

His people blessed me and He provided me with the perfect time away .... but not only that... he reiterated something very important to me... He drove it home a bit deeper this time... He proved to me on a total different level that He indeed is in total control and that I NEED to trust Him for everything... because I can...

this is something we all struggle with but if anything,  that's one of the better things He promises to bring out of evil intentions of others for me....  new worries that I have had over the last 19 months and have continuously given back to Him in regards to my future, financially and relationally, were put to rest in a new found way... opportunities so amazingly brought to my attention definitely communicated His commitment to take care of me and my needs...

He has empowered me during these days that magnified the heartache of the last years.... potentially this could have been a very difficult time, but in His goodness and love it definitely felt like a new beginning... a glimpse of heaven... Thank you Jesus... I love you
