love is enough

A long while ago I was listening to the IHOP (International House of Prayer)’s live broadcasts of the prayer room and a young girl about my age was praying with all that she had to the Lord and one phrase stuck with me. She was crying out and telling God that “Love is Enough” that His love was enough.

I have to remind myself daily that He loves me in a way that no one else could ever love me. He wants His love to be enough for me. 

It’s hard to remember that His love is enough when there’s so much busyness and distractions around me. I like to look the other way or keep my head in the clouds. But the love of God is and will always be enough. I always remember this at my weakest moments and it’s enough to bring me to my knees. My Creator made me just the way I was just because He wanted to. He loved me so much that He sent His only son to be tortured just so I could worship other idols, be a hypocrite, say awful things to people, watch things I shouldn’t be watching, say things I shouldn’t be saying, think things I shouldn’t be thinking. Jesus took all of my disrespect upon that cross and I throw punches daily. & Yet He still loves me and that love will never change. Love is Enough.

Love is enough to lay my life down for a Savior. Love is enough to love people with a love that could never come just from me. Love is enough to drop everything that I love and go to another country to spread His fame and not mine. LOVE IS ENOUGH.

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deut 31:6

“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” 1 Cor 13:13
