fullness


And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.
John 1:16

These things I have spoken to you,
that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
John 15:11

I was struck by both of these verses while reading this morning…
In my mind, they seemed to go hand in hand.
We are on the verge of something new,
And I cannot help but cloud hope with shadows of doubt, discouragement and unbelief.
That good things cannot, will not happen to me – to us.
And although my assurance in the knowledge that god is good is solid,
My wavering comes in waves of pessimism, cynicism, and faithlessness.
I cannot help but wallow –
But in the midst of these disturbances,
I am decidedly hopeful, light and careful,

Thoughtful in my faith.

From his fullness, we are made full.
