Being filled

Today I wrote to my penpal in Indonesia, an 18 year old Christian sister.

"I am praying for you!  The Lord is pleased when we pray to Him and depend on Him for your help and strength.  A friend encouraged me with this thought:  The Bible says we are to "be filled with the Spirit".  When we think of being filled with food, we think of eating quite a LOT of food to be full.  We are not full from only one bit.  In a similar way, we must be filled with a LOT of the Spirit, as the Spirit of Christ we must be filled with the Word of Christ to be filled.  And it may take a LOT of the Scripture to fill us!  I am praying that you are filled with the Word to accomplish all that the Lord hopes for you.
....
I pray for you and your family, that you may have peace of God and His comfort and Hope within you.
With much Love
