Complete

"And ye are complete in him...
(Col. 2:10)

Complete in Thee! no work of mine
May take, dear Lord, the place of Thine;
Thy blood hath pardon bought for me,
And now I am complete in Thee.

Complete in Thee! no more shall sin,
Thy grace hath conquered, reign within;
Thy voice shall bid the tempter flee,
And I shall stand complete in Thee.

Complete in Thee! each want supplied,
And no good thing to me denied;
Since Thou my portion, Lord, wilt be,
I ask no more, complete in Thee.

Dear Savior! when before thy bar
All tribes and tongues assembled are,
Among Thy chosen will I be,
At Thy right hand complete in Thee.
(Cecil F Alexander)

Reader, we am so secure as Christians because we
are IN HIM. I used the verb 'am' because for me it
seems stronger-- continuous present tense. My
emotions tell me that I am continuously incomplete,
but God says otherwise. Upon what do I base my
life?  God's truth or mine?
