God is Enough

So, as I'm sure you all know, these past 3 weeks I have had a terrible migraine. It's honestly made me super frustrated, irritated, and not at all the person I want to be. And in the midst of all of this, I've realized something, GOD is ENOUGH. Now, maybe I should back track a little bit.

I've had a lot of time to think, pray and rest. And I've been thinking that I often try to come before God only when I feel "good enough"; so since I've been feeling 'out of it' I've decided that I wasn't in the right place to come to God. And I know the devil loves this and preys on it. He whispers in my ear all the lies I have believed about myself. I hear him say that I will never be good enough for anyone, and that makes me not good enough for God.

I sit here and realize how fortunate I am that we serve the ONE TRUE GOD! And our God, well we were never good enough, I was never good enough, but JESUS was, and is. His blood has made me clean. His blood has washed over me and made me pure as the whitest snow.

So regardless of my migraine, or my bad mood, or my sins that day, GOD IS ENOUGH! I want to scream it from the roof tops, and allow that fundamental truth to sink deep in my heart. When we have Christ, we are loved eternally, unconditionally, forevermore. Psalm 73:26 "My flesh and my heart my fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

  2. This is a breathe of fresh air when our culture is so steeped in with a self- focus and looks at performance as the main measurement. God is sovereign! =)

  3. I love this! A verse that comes to mind with your heart in this is James 1:2-4 "Count it all joy, my brothers,[b] when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." He brings joy despite our circumstances and sufferings. I love you Anika and I'm praying for you :)
