In Col. 2:10 we have been made full in Christ, who is the Head of all rule and authority.
This can be our experience today in Christ and with Christ . We can testify that even though we go through difficulties and have problems, as we
take time to absorb the Lord with all His riches, we share in His ascension.
We transcend our situation and soar above all things.
Hallelujah! We are one with Him in His enthronement, and we are seated with Christ, far above all things.
Praise the Lord!!!
Batangas City, Philippines

Therefore, we need to TAKE TIME to behold Him.

"Not that I speak according to lack, for I have learned, in whatever circumstances I am, to be content.
I know also how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to hunger, both to abound and to lack.
I am able to do all things in Him who empowers me." - Philippians 4:11-13
