Only God is enough

I have amazing friends who love and support me and I them. They rally around me when I am down and know that they can call when they are in trouble or need. Never in my life have I had so much healthy support. Family is very important to me and since I have a small family, there has been lots of room for 'adoptees'. You know how sometime there are just THOSE people, who you click with right away, you feel like you have been friends forever, and they are of the quality that anytime you meet one of their friends, you instantly accept them because of who they know? It seems that I am surrounded by those people!!

Man, what a privilege!

You know what, though? As much as they love me, and I love them, as much as we support one another, fight for one another and pray for one another..... they are just people. I would never hurt them on purpose, nor they me, EXCEPT sometimes we do hurt one another. Sometimes it hurts if someone doesn't give you the hug you are begging for in your heart but can't bring yourself to ask for, or it hurts when, their joy sheds light on what seems to be missing in your life. This is the reality of living in a sinful world. We are subject to the sin in ourselves and one another.

Only God is enough.....

In this one statement, I can free myself from the pressure of having to be 'super friend', of feeling like I need to meet all their needs (even the unspoken ones I feel like I should have seen). It frees them to be human, it frees me to stop relying so heavily on them-even though they love being needed. As I remind myself that only God is enough... I am free.

When God is enough, everything is just the icing on the cake! Can you imagine how amazing a friendship that would make? What about a family? How about a marriage?

ONLY GOD IS ENOUGH!!!!

God, give me a revelation that you are enough for me, that you fill every need in my life. Tap me on the shoulder every time I forget!
