enough.

Ever wonder what is enough?

I often find myself asking that question in so many avenues of life.  

Is my best enough?

When will I have enough?

Do I have enough money?

Do I have enough friends?

Is my job enough?

Is my relationship with Christ enough?

Our human nature longs for satisfaction.  In every area of our lives, we long to be fulfilled by someone or something.  It may be a relationship, spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend.  It may be an addiction, shopping, alcohol, drugs.  We are born with an innate desire to love and to be loved, to satisfy and to be satisfied, to give and receive acceptance.  Some folks search their whole lives for acceptance from people and yet nothing quite satisfies that void inside of us to have enough.  

The answer to my first question is a resounding NO!  Nothing will ever be enough!  We can do whatever, whenever and however in this world to find that acceptance, love and satisfaction, but we will come up empty every time...

...but God.  

That's a beautiful phrase, isn't it?  For as much as you search, nothing will fill the void that Christ does!  Did it ever occur to you that the reason we have such a longing for something greater than ourselves is because we were made in the image of Christ Himself?  He created us with that desire because He knew He would have to come to earth, as a human and reconcile all of humanity with Jesus!  What a beautiful picture of His love for us that He would lay down His life just so we could have Him in our hearts to fill that desire for enough!

It's ok if you never feel like you are enough, like you never have enough, like you'll never be enough.  In all honesty...you won't!  That's where Jesus comes in and fills that void to make you enough...in HIM!

Be encouraged...He is ENOUGH for everything we could ever need!
