In the movie “Jerry Maguire”, there comes a scene at the end of the movie that melts every woman’s heart. Jerry says those famous movie words, “you complete me”. These warm and fuzzy words make us all feel good. But this isn’t possible for man if God isn’t in it. No one is complete. It’s not until a person humbles himself, allowing honesty to reign in his heart through repentance, that Christ comes and makes His home there. When this happens, we are made complete with the fullness and power that comes from God. It’s a work that God can only do, but we have to ask and comply.
14 When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, 15 the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. 16 I pray that from His glorious, unlimited resources He will empower you with inner strength through His Spirit. 17 Then Christ will make His home in your hearts as you trust in Him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. 21 Glory to Him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:14-21
