Yet, indeed I
also, count all things loss, for the excellence of the knowledge of
Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things,
and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ.
Philippians 3:8
Whenever everything we have placed so much importance on in our life has
been stripped away, we are not left empty, and we are not poor, or
desolate and alone. God is always enough. Realization of His sufficiency
becomes evident, when everything else is removed. When we come to a
point in our lives, when truly in our hearts, nothing else matters. The
appearance of our life is meaningless. Deep down in all of us, there is
something that cries from our souls, that we need more. More than a new
car, great job, etc. We realize, no matter how well we have planned our
life and how many of our dreams have come true, it is simply not enough
to fill the empty space. The space inside our souls, that longs for our
Creator, Who is more than enough and all that we actually need. We
attempt to question our existence, rationalize our life and evade our
purpose, but sooner or later we realize, it is all about God. He is our
purpose, He is the reason we exist, He is Life itself and He is always
enough.
Prayer
We need You Lord,
more than the next breath we take. If everything were gone tomorrow, You
are enough. The "stuff" we obtain is nothing. The relationships we
build, are meaningless, if we don't know You. Without You we are empty.
You are the giver of Life, fill the empty place in our souls and build
our lives according to Your will, and to fulfill Your purpose. We praise
Your Holy name, You alone are God and You are enough! Amen.
