Valley of Vision

Some thoughts I'm praying through this morning.

"O God thou has taught me that Christ has all fullness
and so all plenitude of the Spirit,
that all fullness I lack in myself is in him,
for his people, not for himself alone,
He having perfect knowledge, grace, righteousness,
To make me see,
To make me righteous,
To give me fullness;
That is my duty, out of a sense of emptiness
to go to Christ, possess, enjoy his fullness as mine,
as if I had it in myself, because it is for me in him
That when I do this I am full of the Spirit,
as a fish that has got from the shore to the sea
and has all fullness of waters to move in,
for when faith fills me, then i am full;
that is the way to be filled with the Spirit...
To this end, O God
Do thou establish me in Christ,
settle me, give me a being there,
assure me with certainty that all this is mine,
for this only will fill my heart with joy and peace. "
