“It would have been enough.” Enough. That word rings in my ear. Webster defines the word enough as “a degree or quantity that satisfies.” I have battled sickness my whole life and I have been told that it will be very difficult for me to have a baby. It’s always something and it gets so tiring having to go to doctors after doctors. These things in my life make me feel like I don’t have enough. I’m not healed of sickness, I don’t have a baby, so that’s not enough! How could I possible say “it would be enough” in my situation and be satisfied where I am at?! I ask myself so many times, “God why don’t you fix this?”
We so easily forget that earthy things will never be enough for us. We get mad at God when He doesn’t do what WE believe He should. Just by the simple fact that he came and died for us- THAT IS ENOUGH. That is all we need. Everything else that He gives us are blessing we do not deserve.. If I never get healed, if I never stop going to doctor after doctor, if I never have a baby to hold in my hands- Jesus is enough for me. Whatever battle you are going through, He is enough to satisfy. In the Bible, Job lost everything. Yet, God was enough for him. Whatever you are facing right now, remember Jesus is enough. If you lost everything you hold dear, can you honestly say “it would be enough.” Would Jesus be enough for you? If he does not turn your situation around, would it be enough? Would “his grace be sufficient” in your circumstances?
My prayer is, Lord, help me each day to be able to say “Jesus is enough for me” no matter what I may face.
“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me”
-2 Corinthians 12:9
