More Than Enough~ & *Music* Photo Challenge Winner

And all of You is more than enough for
All of me
…every thirst and every need…
You satisfy me
With Your love,
And all I have in You
Is more than enough.

Always enough...




It is hard to hear such words when the soul is in such turmoil.
It hurts

Today I am what one would call, “splendidly imperfect.”
It is splendid because my Abba reminded me of this song…
And these truths.
To know that G-d sees the depths of my soul…
And loves me anyways.

I see my doubt and my fear.

I remember that it is in the dark valleys that the stars shine the brightest,
shouting G-d's glory.

His faithfulness.
Because it’s harder to see stars when you are in the city, in light.
It’s so much easier to see the stars when you are in darkness.
The footprints story.

His carrying me through.

But oh friends… how lovely it is to know that this is yet perfecting me.
His power is made perfect in my simple weakness.


Even though the journey's long
And I know the road is hard,
The One who’s gone before me,
He will help me carry on

And after all that I've been through,
Now I realize the truth:
That I must go through the valley
To stand upon the mountain of G-d.

L-rd, help me find Your love in my frustration,
Your joy in my heartache,
Your peace in my fear,
Your glory in this valley
And any more I will go through…
Because You have planned my days before I was born.
Every joy.
Every whisper.
Every sigh.
Every fear.
Every ache.

Help me to want to be like You.

Help me to remember that You are always...
Always...

Enough.

G-d bless you, my friends... He has truly blessed me... every day, no matter how hard, I am still His child and I still have His eternal, precious love… and I am so, so underserving.

That makes the worst of days glorious.
Another bath it will be… in His love.
And His grace.
I am at peace.
How good He is to me.
And I am His because He is.

"Ahh! There's words!"
