Colossians 2:10
…and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
When you look at yourself, what do you see? Do you see someone who is imperfect and lacking in many areas, or someone who is whole and complete in Christ?
There are believers who see themselves as incomplete. That is because they are conscious of their lack and imperfections. They say tings like, “There are so many things I have done wrong! How can I be complete with all of these things?” They see their weaknesses, condemn themselves and feel inferior to others.
The good news is that God does not see the way man sees. Man sees the flesh, while God sees the spirit. He sees us already complete in Christ. In spite of our imperfections, He sees us as new creations, partakers of His divine nature and more than conquerors over our faults. And He wants us to see ourselves the same way He sees us.
What we think we need or are lacking in, whether it is godly character traits or physical health, we already have in Christ.
You are not going to be complete in Christ some day – you are already complete in Christ right now! And what remains for you to do is to walk in that completeness every day by believing that it is true and confessing that what you need, Jesus is to you. He is your complete forgiveness, complete righteousness, complete favor, complete healing and complete protection.
So don’t focus on the lack you see in yourself. Focus instead on how in Christ, you are complete in everything at this moment. And instead of weaknesses, lack and defects, you will see His strength, wholeness, soundness and completeness manifesting in you!
