More than Enough

"All of You is more than enough for all of me. For every thirst and for every need, You satisfy me with Your love, Until all I have in You is More than enough." I don't know if Chris Tomlin wrote this but I do know that he sang it. Lately, though it seems like it's for much longer periods of time, I've wanted God to simply be enough for me. I know that He is more than enough, more than I can ever imagine or hope for, or need, but at times, I just need Him to be enough for me in the very moment. Enough to fill the ache of loneliness, enough to deal with the junk and drama at work, enough to love me unconditionally. I think that today we are always looking for more. Think about it....more money, more car, more house, more friends, more success, more recognition, more of everything. Nothing seems to satisfy us. Enough doesn't seem to do it for us. Enough money to pay the bills. Nope, we want more. A car that runs well and is paid for. Nope, something bigger and better. A roof over our heads. No, it has to have a swimming pool or walk in closets. A good job. No, more power, please. Part of being okay with enough is contentment. In Phillipians 4, Paul talks about being content in any and every situation, whether in plenty or in want, good or bad. I think that realizing that God is enough for us...for every single need, and realizing that He is also more than enough, helps breed contentment. Not an easy thing by any means, but I will rest in knowing that my God is enough for me.
