He's Got to be Enough

Sometimes, I feel really simple in my thoughts about life in general (and sometimes quite the opposite...over-thinking stuff). I got to thinking tonight that Jesus was never complex with His teachings; He was loving, gracious, direct, thorough...

I'm learning that either I truly believe that Christ is sufficient, enough, for all circumstances, all facets of life, all surprises that come my way, or I don't believe it. He's got to be enough. He's got to be sufficient. He says He is. Lord, I believe! Help my unbelief!

I'm hoping that, though simple as they may be, my thoughts or words to others in any circumstances are saturated with love.

"At first I didn't think of it as a gift, and begged God to remove it. Three times I did that, and then he told me,
My grace is enough; it's all you need.
My strength comes into its own in your weakness.
Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ's strength moving in on my weakness. Now I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size—abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become." 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (The Message)
