Jesus is Enough

What an amazing blog series from sweet friends about what it looks like for Jesus to be enough. Big thank you to both Sully and Aj for sharing your hearts with us. When I was a little girl I never really valued time with Jesus. I would open my eyes during prayers and fixed my clothing, or twirled my hair. Prayer to me even as a young adult was just a way to end church, or a wedding or well just any church related event. It wasn’t until later in life like my late 20’s that the way I viewed both my time with Jesus through prayer an being in His word changed. It became so important to me. The desire to seek God for my direction, my completion and how I could learn who I was while seeking who He is. I allowed so many people to shape my view of who God is and that led me to walk in constant defeat. I depended on other people to tell me how to live my life, what to do and I seemed to always end up begging God to speak to me and He was never Jesus enough for me. I was clinging to others rather than Him alone and I didn’t dig in His word to find truth or direction. How prideful was I to think that other people, my own desires and what I wanted would fulfill me. I replaced God with people’s opinions, ministry and what I thought was best rather than seeking God and clinging to Him with all I have. I came across this passage of scripture this morning in Jeremiah and it reminded me of this very thing…

Jeremiah 13: 1 This is what the LORD said to me: “Go and buy a linen loincloth and put it on, but do not wash it.” 2 So I bought the loincloth as the LORD directed me, and I put it on. 3 Then the LORD gave me another message: 4 “Take the linen loincloth you are wearing, and go to the Euphrates River.[a] Hide it there in a hole in the rocks.” 5 So I went and hid it by the Euphrates as the LORD had instructed me. 6 A long time afterward the LORD said to me, “Go back to the Euphrates and get the loincloth I told you to hide there.” 7 So I went to the Euphrates and dug it out of the hole where I had hidden it. But now it was rotting and falling apart. The loincloth was good for nothing. 8 Then I received this message from the LORD: 9 “This is what the LORD says: This shows how I will rot away the pride of Judah and Jerusalem. 10 These wicked people refuse to listen to me. They stubbornly follow their own desires and worship other gods. Therefore, they will become like this loincloth—good for nothing! 11 As a loincloth clings to a man’s waist, so I created Judah and Israel to cling to me, says the LORD. They were to be my people, my pride, my glory—an honor to my name. But they would not listen to me.

Sweet friend Jesus is enough. God sent Jesus to us to cover our pride, our moments of walking in defeat and all the sin in between because He wants you to want Him above all else so that you can walk in His beautiful freedom.

God’s love for you reaches beyond the doubt, the fear and whatever else it is you are clinging to in this season. My prayer for you is that you no longer listen to the enemy tell you that Jesus doesn’t and will not complete, restore and fulfill wholeness in you. You are created for more and honoring HIs name by embracing that your worth comes from Jesus is a beautiful picture of surrender.

Keep going friend.
