More Than Enough

I was at a church a couple of weeks ago and during the Praise & Worship time, the song “Enough” was sung. I don’t know if you have heard this song or not (you should go listen to it now) but it has always been one that I loved. I can’t help but sing out in this song, partly because it’s in my vocal range :] , and mostly because it speaks to my heart.

Sometimes I have a difficult time being content. I am happy with my life for the most part but happiness comes and goes depending on what circumstance I am dealing with. So, I am working on being content. How is that different you ask? Well, like I said, happiness can change but contentment is unchanging and is something that comes in knowing Christ. It doesn’t change whenever times are rough. Contentment allows you to handle whatever situation comes your way, without feeling like the world is crashing down on you. My problem is that I will get lost in my circumstance and need to be reminded of how blessed my life is.

So, I’m singing this song and tears start to flow (hey, I can’t help it. I’m an emotional individual). It’s amazing how God speaks to you right when you need it. My desire and ache to have children sometimes overpowers my contentment but “Enough” brings me right back to how very much I have been given and how very blessed I am. And even if my life was to resemble that of Job’s, Christ is more than enough for me. Always will be.

This is my mantra (is that the right word?) for this year. More than enough.


Here are the lyrics: (listen to Barlow Girl’s version, it’s my fave.)


Enough

[Written by Chris Tomlin and Louie Giglio]

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

You are my supply
My breath of life
Still more awesome than I know
You are my reward
Worth living for
Still more awesome than I know

Cuz All of you is more than enough for all of me
for every thirst and every need
you satisfy me with your love
and all I have in you is more than enough

You're my sacrifice of greatest price
Still more awesome than I know
You're my coming King You're everything
Still more awesome than I know

All of you is more than enough for all of me
for every thirst and every need
you satisfy me with your love
and all I have in you

All of you is more than enough for all of me
for every thirst and every need
you satisfy me with your love
and all I have in you is more than enough

Your enough, your enough, your enough for me
your enough, your enough, your enough for me
your enough, your enough, your enough for me
