Enough

Enough.

A simple, yet definitive word. 

Do we ever have enough, do enough, get enough, feel enough.

Are we through with a 

situation

person

conflict

habit

job

and we shake our head with resolve

draw our clinched fists in tight

pinch our lips together in a thin line

stomp our foot

throw our hands down in exasperation and say-

Enough!

But what does it mean? I have lived my life trying to achieve enough.

Lost enough weight

Studied enough

Been good enough

Been strong enough

Loved enough

Exercised enough

Been gracious enough

Used my talents enough

Gone to church enough

The Webster Dictionary defines enough as 

"equal to what is needed"

In the bible the word for enough is frequently synonymous with the Greek word, hikanos

Defined as: sufficient, worthy, many, much

is the Lamb that was slain

Therein lies the problem - my problem. In order to live in that place of having much, of feeling sufficient, of recognizing what we have is equal to what we need - we have to realize that we are worthy to receive it. When we thrust our hands at our side, and face 

a challenge

a habit

a behavior

a situation

in which we are dissatisfied - and with a resolute attitude and a strength that comes from the Holy Spirit within us proclaim -

ENOUGH!!!

we are declaring that we are worthy of so much more. 

Not deserved, or entitled but WORTHY 

We are worth more to God than we can ever imagine. I am HIS daughter, He is my Father, He provides all I need because 

HE is SUFFICIENT

He is ENOUGH

and in HIM I have all I NEED.
