Colossians 2:10
And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
As a teenager in a youth group, there always seemed to be a standard that I couldn’t live up to. I was told by different people that to be in God’s will or have God’s blessing, I needed to do certain things. It always seemed to me that there was something lacking, and that there was more that I needed to do, to get more from God this was very frustrating and discouraging. Then a friend of mine showed me the above verse and I was so excited he told me about God’s grace, and all that God has done for me, he told me that I didn’t need to do anything because God has already done it ALL for me. The idea of being complete is what any young person is looking for because they are in a time of their life from being a child to becoming an adult and there is enough pressures from the world they definitely don’t need pressures from a church. Knowing that no matter what I did or where I was, that I was complete in Christ, gave me a since of comfort and confidence. Don’t try to reach the standards of others but realize who you are in Christ and rest in that alone. Understand and live your Christian life knowing that “ye are complete in him”.
Rejoicing in Grace,
Keith
