Enough.

our God of all comfort did not promise that following Him will be comfortable. He never promised we'll be "happy" on this daily journey, or that we will reach a point in our lives when everything will make sense. our God of love and grace and mercy did not promise that we will never be broken—never get hurt—never feel pain. He never promised us perfect parents, perfect friends, or perfect selves. our God of contentment never promised that we will one day be married and have kids, or that our kids will grow up and make "the right" choices. He never promised we won't have to go through hardships or losses; He didn't promise us we won't have to make sacrifices. our God of eternal liberation did not promise that we won't have to fight for our freedom, or that we won't have to die for the freedom of others. He never promised for us (or for the ones we love) good health and a long life here on earth. our God of life and light and beauty did not even promise us we will live to see the sunrise of tomorrow morning.

our God of truth has, however, promised us one thing:

Himself.

and that, my friends... is enough.

indubitable truth.

i run i search i hide i freeze; 

i close my eyes and feel the breeze. 

i cry i shine i love to love; 

i know my pride is not enough. 

i need more than my dreams and plans; 

i need a faith that moves mountains. 

i find myself in moments of doubt; but 

i find nothing to worry about. 

i am free with Him because of His grace; 

i am satisfied when seeking His face. 

i know i'm little; i know i'm weak; but 

i know my heart my Lord will keep.
