Fullness

Description

This bracelet was significantly inspired by a worship song from Elevation Worship called Fullness.  As I listened to the song, I dug more into scripture verses that mention Fullness.  I kept picturing a glass or a bowl that was full- do you know that we never really completely fill our vessels?  When you pour a glass of water, for example, you don’t fill it to the top because then you might spill while trying to take a drink.  The fullness of God, however, doesn’t stop short of that fill line.  The fullness of God goes right to the top and then it runs over the sides, spilling onto everything while we cry out More Lord, More.

 

Frosted blue seed beads and navy blue pearl beads in graduated sizes are meant to represent the seas as mentioned in Habakkuk 2:14;

 “But [the time is coming when] the earth shall be filled
With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord,
As the waters cover the sea.”

 

Haggai  mentions the sea again, and an abundance of treasures.  The treasure is represented by many faceted amber glass beads.

 

“As for the promise which I made with you when you came out of Egypt, My Spirit stands [firm and immovable] and continues with you; do not fear!’ ⁶ For thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘Once more, in a little while, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. ⁷ I will shake all the nations; and they will come with the desirable and precious things of all nations, and I will fill this house with glory and splendor,’ says the Lord of hosts.”  Haggai 2:5-5

 

The heavenly shaking and the starry heaven is represented by a few rhinestone spacers- adding some sparkle like the twinkle in the sky on a dark summer night. While rhinestones are hardly diamonds, they look like them and a diamond represents the final transformation of what once began as a lump of coal.

 

“His voice shook the earth [at Mount Sinai] then, but now He has given a promise, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the [starry] heaven.” ²⁷ Now this [expression], “Yet once more,” indicates the removal and final transformation of all those things which can be shaken—that is, of that which has been created—so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.” Hebrews 12:26-27

 

The sovereignty of God, the royalty of our Father in Heaven is represented by a purple glass bead.

 

Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “None of My words will be delayed any longer. Whatever word I speak will be fulfilled completely,”’” says the Lord God. Ezekiel 12:28

 

And Isaiah 43:19 mentions a new thing that God is about to do.  When I think of a new thing I think of the beautiful tones in Rose Gold, so I added a selection of glass beads which are honey toned, but colored in just such a way that it almost looks like they are being transformed into rose gold.

 

“Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing,
Now it will spring forth;
Will you not be aware of it?”
