Is Jesus Enough?

Sometimes life is just plain hard. It's usually not fair. It often doesn't turn out like we'd planned, and it seems like more often than not our youthful dreams lay broken against the cold, hard reality of life  on a sinful planet. But there's good news! We aren't destined to stay here. This is not home. It's just temporary. Life is indeed hard, but it's not meaningless and it's not hopeless. Some days are rougher than others, but Jesus is still the same. His love is constant, His arms are strong, and His grace is abundant. 

I think each person goes through a time in life (maybe several) where they have to choose whether or not to believe God is enough. When there seems to be absolutely no earthly solutions, is Jesus enough? When the ground shakes beneath you and the heavy winds blow, is Jesus really strong to save? Can He really take our brokenness and make it whole? The answer is an unequivocal yes. He is enough, whatever comes our way, Jesus is enough. More than enough. He is everything.

I believe God is asking me to share the ways He is working in my life as living proof of His loving care, and His ability to do more for us than we could ever imagine. Mostly I just see my weakness right now, but He has promised that nothing is impossible for Him. I'm inviting anyone who reads this to be a witness. Watch God take my weakness and turn it into His perfect strength. And know that He did it. Him alone. I'm certain it won't be as fast as I'd like, but one day this pilgrimage will be at an end and I can see my Jesus as I long to. It's hard to see right now, but I choose to trust and walk forward, resting in the sweet arms of Jesus, by His grace alone.

"Often your mind may be clouded because of pain. Then do not try to think. You know that Jesus loves you. He understands your weakness. You may do His will by simply resting in His arms." (Ministry of Healing 251.5)
