*FULL/*FULLY
For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known. (I Cor 13)
I have come so that they may have life - life in its fullness. (John 10:10)
As the Spirit taught the writers, used their own vocabulary and writing style to express the thought of the Spirit. As such, the Scriptures came as the result of divine and human cooperation. The Bible, therefore, is both fully divine and fully human. (Bible Versions, p7)
Jesus being both fully human and fully divine is a paradox to us. Half human and half God would be more rational to our worldly thinking. (Randy)
If you want to be fully embraced by the Lord, you have to accept both arms: the one that allows suffering for the sake of purification and the one that brings the joy of union. When you feel the physical pain or when pychological struggles are persecuting you, you should think that God is hugging you extra tightly. Trials are an expression of His love, not of rejection. In contemplative prayer, the distress caused by the absence of God is often compensated for by experiences of divine Union. There is a level in which pain is joy and joy is pain. (Open Mind, p76-77)
When we are in deep, all-encompassing peace, empty of thoughts and images, a mysterious fullness seems to surround us and penetrate our consciousness. (Open Mind, p86) I wonder if emptiness and fullness is not a duality, but the same thing like the alpha and omega. (Randy)
