“You complete me.” Who can forget this famous line from the movie, Jerry Mcguirre with Tom Cruise that had the hearts of women young and old going pitter-patter bursting with the intoxicating idea of romantic, fairy tale love? As romantic and beautiful as that scene was, it is not real. Truth be told looking for another person to complete you is wrong. Not to mention, it is not emotionally or spiritually healthy. Why? Because we are all desperately flawed, and people will fail us. But there is One who is without flaw and is able to complete us. God’s Word says “You have been made complete in Christ.” Colossians 2:10
If you're looking for anyone or anything to fill and complete you other than Jesus, you will be let down, disappointed and blame others for your unhappiness. Only the love of God can fill the yearning in our hearts for love and acceptance. Only His love satisfies..
God’s word says “You have been accepted in the beloved.” Ephesians 1:6. Complete acceptance of who you are is only possible when you can see yourself through the eyes of Jesus - Loved, accepted, chosen, adopted, forgiven, redeemed!.
Don't set others up for failure to do what only God is able to do. You will live with constant disappointment. Choose to live in the fullness of His love. Jesus completes you.
