JESUS IS ENOUGH
/The Faith Walk is a series of ups and downs, highs and lows. Not until we are in the presence of Jesus, will all of our longings be satisfied. Until then, we experience disappointments that are a part of living life on earth.
Today I was hit with disappointment. It had to do with a secret longing I’d been carrying around for a while. Years ago I’d put myself in training, for this is not the only time disappointment has threatened to eclipse my joy. The training exercise that I got to practice once again today, is simply this; seize the moment of the heartache of disappointment, and immediately focus on Jesus.
“Jesus I need a word from You,” became my immediate focus.
Jesus is the only one who can take the sting out of disappointing circumstances. Today He not only removed the sting; He captured my heart with a new longing – a longing far more satisfying than the one removed.
Before I even completed the thought of needing to hear from Him, He overwhelmed my soul with . . .
Let ME be enough.
The message was so quiet and so non-intrusive, that I almost missed it – but I didn’t!
That gentle welcoming Voice exploded inside of me causing an eruption of PURE JOY. Immediately my mind turned around as I delightfully called out to Him . . .
Jesus, You ARE enough.
The hours that followed have been filled with praise and adoration to The One worthy of my heart’s longings. Here’s what I’ve discovered ...
Jesus is not the stepping stone to something greater in my life. . .
He IS my life!
Does your heart have unfulfilled longings? Are there secret hopes and dreams that you have held onto for a long time? There is ONE who IS the answer.
TRUTH: We will not escape disappointments in this life, but Jesus promises to be our fulfillment.
SCRIPTURE: The LORD will always lead you, satisfy you in a parched land, and strengthen your bones.
You will be like a watered garden and like a spring whose waters never run dry. (Isaiah 58:11 CSB)
APPLICATION: Reserve some special moments with your Father to talk over your longings. Dig deeply into your heart, talking over your bruised emotions and broken dreams. Ask Him to help you move into the place of truly . . . letting Him be enough.
PRAYER: Dear Lord – YOU ARE ENOUGH. Help me to sink into that holy reality of knowing and walking in the truth of YOU being all I truly need. I want to honor You Jesus, more than I want the lesser longings of my life to be met. I know that You love me and long to satisfy me with Your presence. I know You long to strengthen my wobbly emotions and jagged mind. I trust You Lord, to lead me and satisfy those deepest yearnings of my soul. Fill me Jesus, with Your living water that never runs dry. Turn my gaze upon You as I pray in Your loving name, Amen.
