Complete in Christ

I was reading on Colossians tonight and was struck by two very simple verses. "For in Him (Christ) dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him. . ." Colossians 1:9-10. We are complete in him! How freeing is it to know that we are made complete in him. Nothing I can do, say, or accomplish can complete me, it is only in Christ that I am complete. Our world is constantly seeking to be complete. We are searching for something to fulfill us; make us feel complete, whole, and worth while. We are searching for something that we know is missing in our lives. We are not satisfied with what we have. We are always on the look out for that next new thing to make us happy and fulfilled, whether it be a new job, a new relationship, or a new toy we bought at the store. All these things leave us feeling unsatisfied. The new, bright shiny luster is soon lost and we are once again looking for that thing to complete us, but it is only Christ that can complete us. Plum, a christian band, has a song that speaks about a God shaped hole in all of us that only God can fill (complete). If I keep looking for something or someone else to fill this hole in my life I will continually be disappointed. Only God can fill that missing hole in our lives. We just have to open and willing to let Him fill that hole.
