He is enough.
Do you see the punctuation mark at the end of that sentence? It is a period. I need to live in that period, to claim and accept that period, to celebrate that period and feel empowered and overwhelmed and overjoyed by that period. And yet I think so often that period brings tears to my eyes. He is enough. I know it and I believe it. I say YES to the period and then sit and ask for more. I say He is enough and then ask for a husband, for children, for less buried dreams and more hope. I ask for a life without headaches, one where I don’t wonder if sleep will be possible, one where I don’t have to refill prescriptions or put medical appointments on my calendar. I ask for a future where the student loans are paid off and I can live humbly while giving generously to people and causes that will impact many. I don’t think for a moment that God says we cannot hope or ask for tomorrow - but I do know beyond all doubt that the period means regardless of His answer to any question, He is sufficient, He is the supply, He is the Author and Provider and He alone is enough.
I want to live contentedly within the period. To trust, to rest, to be fulfilled and satisfied by Him. I want to hope for tomorrow while firmly settled in the knowledge that the entirety of my circumstances are held in His faithful care.
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in him.”
Lamentations 3:22-24
He is enough. Period.
