to be complete in Jesus? Does it mean I have no other desires outside God and that I just only want to worship and glorify God?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Merging my Theology with Reality!!!
To be complete in Jesus can mean many things i suppose, but my understanding is that where we fall short due to weaknesses, Christ comes through with his strength and keeps us going. He also creates in us a new heart, one that desires what is right and pleasing to God...and he helps us to understand the scriptures as well as love others with a pure love. Although it may take some time to reach the person we are meant to be, they way God sees us, the process is worthwhile and spiritually fulfulling as Jesus becomes our best friend if we will let him. 
Its an amazing journey which is different for each person as they get to know the Father, Son and Spirit! :hugs:

I don't know that isn't a term that my theological tradition utilizes. It sounds very Pentacostle to be honest.
The nearest thing I could come up with is to be in communion with Christ. Which basically would mean that we are part of the body of Christ or a member of Christ's church.

Quite flawed
I think it means that, in God's eyes, we are now complete people, i.e. whole, innocent, sinless.

It means God is your only provider and He knows what's best for you.. you need nobody else. He is your Guide, and your loving Father.. He loves you as nobody else loves you and He knows you better than anyone else could possibly know you. Nobody else can fill you as Jesus can.

James 1:2-4 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
God wants us to have perfect patience. With that kind of patience, we will truly want for nothing. Instead, we will wait for what the Lord will give us. I don't think that it is the full definition of being complete in Jesus, but I'm sure that it is a part of it.
