More than Enough

I love when God speaks truth in the morning to get you through your day! He is so faithful to answer when we call on Him.

This morning I read 1 John 4. I love reading about God's love in 1 John and how we are to imitate it. But the verse that really got a hold of me this morning was vs. 12:

No one has ever seen God but if we love one another, God lives in us and His love is made complete in us.

WOW! The fact that Sovereign God chooses to display His love through imperfect humans never ceases to amaze me. I realized this morning how complete I am...when my mom hugs me, God is in that hug. When my brother spends time with me, God is in that time. When my youngest brother makes me smile, God is in that smile. When a friend follows through for me, God is in that loyalty. He is everywhere and I have never felt so complete! It's not a boyfriend, engagement ring, wedding, husband, children, huge family or tons of friends that make me complete. I am already complete. If God chooses to bless me with a husband, children or more friends and a bigger family, it will not be the people themselves that complete me, but God's love through them that brings greater satisfaction to the fulfillment that I have already obtained. That's huge!

We have all we need in our all-sufficient Father God. He will not withhold His best, and so I can trust that He is enough without all the other stuff. In Christ we find acceptance, security, adequacy, love, freedom, value, competency, protection, endowment of His Spirit, provision, knowledge, understanding and His divine, holy, all-knowing, all-capable power that fills every need and makes HIM more than enough.



Side Note: I just finished reading i am not, but i know I AM, by Louie Giglio. Tremendous book and I highly recommend it!
