More Than Enough
Filling the Gaps
- Tim McConnell
Jul. 21
This is an odd verse. In some way or another, our sufferings contribute to the fullness of the divine life. We are connected to Christ, and even share in his sufferings. This life is a contest. We are pitted against evil forces that destroy life. As full children of God who flourish in the divine life filling us up from within, we overflow to fill up the gaps in the world. Wounds become sources of healing for others and we can be agents of flourishing in the name of Jesus.
