Enough

If asked what was the main lesson I’ve learned from this extended period of singleness; I would answer the gospel. Duh! You might say. Cop-out, you might think. But, that would be a sincere answer. I’m nearing 30 and no guy is in sight. I’m a far cry from the 18yr. old bride I had hoped to be. Ten years late and I’m still single. It looks like I’m doomed to the fate of an old maid. (This last statement is a joke, btw!)

BUT that, my friend, is not the end of the story. THERE IS HOPE!!! And it’s not a knight in shining armor. My hope lies in a Man. One who died for my rebellious sin towards God. There is only one thing that I need…salvation from the wrath of God. A man is simply a gift. He is not lasting, only God is. He cannot satisfy, God satisfies my every desire with Himself. A man will disappoint and sin against me. God is faithful and perfectly holy. The cross proves God’s 100%, never-ending, faithful, constant love towards me. If the Creator of the Universe loved me enough to kill His Son for me. If He loved me so much that He secured my eternal destiny at the expense of His Son. Then I can trust Him with my life. It doesn’t matter where the road leads. It doesn’t matter if the road is flat or an uphill trek. I’m being led by the Creator of the Universe and the Redeemer of my Soul. How awesome is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can it get any better…I don’t think so. Does that mean that I don’t care if I get married? Heck no! There’s nothing I want more. But, my fulfillment is not found in my marital status. Marriage is not my hope. Christ is my hope. He is the fulfillment of all my desires. He is enough (and yes, there are days I have remind myself of this!).

 

All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough

You are my supply
My breath of life
And still more awesome than I know
You are my reward
worth living for
And still more awesome than I know

All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough

You’re my sacrifice
Of greatest price
And still more awesome than I know
You’re the coming King
You are everything
And still more awesome than I know

More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me
More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough for me
