I serve a God who does not do anything slip shod! His banner does not fly at half mast, His word is not to be taken in part, when He uproots something He does not leave a stump!
On several occasions within the word of God we are allowed this insight into the mind of God. We read terms like, "when the fullness of time was come" or "when the day of Pentecost was fully come". Jesus Himself was "all the fullness of the Godhead". With Him there is no room for error, there is no room for any outside influence to add to what He does.
When one receives the Holy Ghost we even term it "filled with the Holy Ghost". There is a reason for this. Whether we know it consciously or unconsciously we are following an unalterable, immovable, immutable law of God! A law that has been preprogrammed into our very being. It is a stamp on His creation, a fingerprint of design, all whom He has created knows that He alone can fill the longing of our soul.
When He breathed the breath of life into man He became a living soul. That soul that God gave to man longs to be reunited with its Creator. This is why at times tears come even without conviction. This is why we feel a tug upon our heart strings even when the message preached may not seem to be directed toward us. It is a wonderful thing to have tears fill your eyes at even the mention of His name.
Thankfully God had a plan to reunite his creation with its Creator, a plan that was born in a manger and consummated upon a cross!
Galatians 4:4 "But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son..."
Just as the earth was without form and void, our lives are truly not shaped into what they can be when the void between God and man has not been bridged. The way has been made, the chasm is crossable, it is up to you.
Will you choose the be filled with the fullness of life itself or remain empty, void, and shallow?
