I Am Complete

This week our pastor really challenged me with this famous quote:  

"The ship in the harbor is safe, but that is not what it was made for."

                            I Am Complete

The Almighty God of the universe knelt down, it was now time to fashion his ultimate creation. Dust. How did he do it? This time he would not speak, but with his own hands would outline his image in the dust. God began shaping and molding a perfect likeness of himself. This would be the creature that he would have an intimate relationship with. God's own breath was breathed into the form.                               
                         The man was now complete. 


When a project is complete it is ready to be used. The chocolate double layer cake with cocoa fudge icing is complete. It is ready to be served. The cake with icing with children's fingerprints poked here and there is still complete and ready to serve. Although it is not picture perfect anymore, it is still complete and can be used. You and I are never going to be perfect, but with Christ we are complete. We are ready to serve. To not eat the completed cake because a chubby finger enjoyed some icing would be a waste. And just because you don't have your act altogether, to not let God use you would be a waste. 

With Christ we are complete. Move away from the idea that you must be perfect in order to serve. Let the truth that you are complete replace that lie.   You are complete.    Now serve.
