Is Jesus Enough?
I am not sure if you knew it or not but May is my birthday month. I am convinced I love it so much because of all the prizes I get from all my sweet friends throughout the entire month. It should be no surprise that when June rolls around my love tank is pretty full for sure.
As we kick off a brand new series I want you to stop and ask yourself one simple question.
Is Jesus enough?
This is a question that I want to wrestle with over the next few weeks. I have a few guest bloggers that will be sharing throughout the month of May and we will also be discussing it on the VLOG.
When I was a little girl I could never just eat one cookie. I was the girl who would literally feel as if I had been handcuffed when a teacher would hold the bag of cookies in her hand and then place a small cup of water in front of me with ONE cookie on a napkin. I remember thinking “why does she think this is going fill me up”. I would eat my cookie so slow so that the taste would linger. Ladies when Jesus isn’t enough for us we begin to seek after things that only bring us temporary satisfaction and If we are honest the stuff that lingers isn’t the good stuff its the shame, guilt and the emptiness that hangs around in our minds. We begin to dwell on the emptiness once again and then start a new journey to find the next “big” thing to fulfil us. Like me, I am sure you could think of a dozen things that have occupied space in my heart. Today I want to open up God’s word and focus on two words that are jam-packed with so much truth.
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
The two words are this, BUT GOD.
Two words that follow an admittance of someone who fails in the flesh because the heart is so messed up. Two words that stand before our hope and our push to embrace that Jesus is ENOUGH forever.
Maybe you can’t seem to keep your spending habits under control.
BUT GOD.<
Maybe your porn addiction seems to be swallowing you up.
BUT GOD.
Maybe your future seems so blurry and your faith is dwindling.
BUT GOD.
Maybe your finances are out of control.
BUT GOD.
Maybe loneliness has you by the throat.
BUT GOD.
I could go on and on with the things that cause our hearts and flesh to fail ladies. The truth is that when we are searching for anything other than Jesus we will always come back to emptiness. Jesus is our portion forever and ever and ever. His love never goes away, His grace is never ending and His desire for us to walk in abundance can only come from Him. Jesus is our enough because God sent Him to die on the cross so that we could be fulfilled only in Him.
Our hearts can know satisfaction when we don’t allow the monster of MORE to creep up in us.
Today press pause and take a few moments to pray for God to show you what the condition of your heart looks like and then offer up all the junk that surfaced.
He wants to replace those things with His love and blessings you just have to choose to let Him.
