Enough

In a world that seems to crave more-more-more, I have some great news about enough-enough-enough.

I find this thought refreshing.

“There is an anticipation and an electricity about God’s presence in my life that I have never experienced before.  I can only tell you that for the first time in my life I can hear Jesus whisper to me every day, “Michael, I love you.  You are beloved.”  And for some strange reason, that seems to be enough.”

To discover that Christ loves us and that is enough is shattering to our do-good mindset of religiosity.  Sometimes it becomes more than we can take in.  We are led to believe salvation comes from doing, not being. 

Some would have you believe that God is saying …

“Run around the mountain seven times”

  “Say your prayers”

    “Eat your veggies”

      “Read ONLY your Bible”

      “Tithe”

      “Give”

    “Visit the sick and afflicted”

  “Shop only at Christian bookstores”

And a few thousand other qualifiers that don’t amount to much in God’s sight

God’s love, as experienced through Christ Jesus is enough. 

God’s love is enough

For today

For tomorrow

For the one who hurts you most

God’s love is enough

For the one who loves you the least

For your creditors

For your bosses

For your employees

God’s love is enough

For every person

Everywhere

In every language

With every dress code

God’s love is enough … For YOU.

Simple - really.

He loves me whether I’m …

Good or bad

Go to church or not

Do good stuff or sit on my b---

… And regardless of my drink of choice

Let’s revisit this:

To write the love of God above

Would drain the ocean dry

Nor could the scroll contain the whole,

Though stretched from sky to sky

~ Frederick M. Lehman

There is enough love for you and me.
