I’ve had a head and heart FULL of thoughts and feelings about the FULLNESS of God.

The word fullness implies being filled to capacity, and when referring to the fullness of God, it includes every aspect of who He is in all His Glory.

His love, mercy, grace, forgiveness, truth, and sovereignty are all far beyond our capacity because they are greater than anything we can ask, imagine, or fathom.

A few days ago I was out shopping for luggage with my son as he prepares to study abroad. When planning and packing, he has to keep in mind the airline restrictions when it comes to his checked and carry on bag dimensions. He can’t go over capacity in length, height, width, or weight, or it’ll cost him.

But that’s not how it works with the fullness of God. There are no restrictions, limitations, or stipulations.

His love is unconditional and everlasting.

His mercy dives to the deepest depth.

His grace reaches to the highest height.

His forgiveness spans the greatest expanse.

His truth is the standard for all credibility.

His sovereignty oversees all authority.

And the fullness of God can never be depleted or defeated. It never runs out, even though it is forever spilling out and filling us.

When we are full of Him, there’s no room for the things that keep us from Him, so when this crazy world we live in, bumps us again and again, His fullness spills out of us and onto others.

The fullness of God — with our head, we will never fully comprehend it, but with our heart, we can fully experience it.
