The evening
started with a question and ended with an answer. The emotion left couldn't be
expressed- so I cried...normal.
My
question: Would Jesus be enough for me? Period. Nothing
more and nothing less. If He took away my very words, my ambitions,
everything I hold dear, even the dreams of my own that I deem “worthy” … would
He really, really be enough for me? When every
earthly passion that steals me away is gone, leaving a broken and beating heart
… would I still be in Love with Christ?
The answer:
Jesus lives to make intercession for me, His spirit bearing witness with mine
that Jesus is MORE
THAN ENOUGH for me:
“For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back
into fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry,
‘Abba! Father!’ The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are
children of God.”
Romans 8:15-16
He
created me to be free- free in Him. He gave me freedom of choice but knew
that my spirit would only truly be free and soar when was placed in the
hands of the One who created it and breathed it into existence.
I am Your
child. You see me. You know me. You see me when my eyes are downcast. You know
my feelings when I buy into the lies that I am not enough. You know the dreams
that I held on to too tightly and placed on a pedestal on which they did not
belong. You saw the opportunities and divine appointments that I pushed away or
tried to make completely my own. You didn't shrug Your
shoulders. In fact, you still looked upon me with the greatest
delight and called me your own. You created me with no
intention of losing me. You knew there would be a war for my heart, and yet,
You relentlessly pursue with arms open wide. You desire truth in my
inmost being. You are truth. I am valued and honored
and You Love me. You are constant. You are everything you say that you are....
And so my
beating heart still sings-
“Even
if You take it all away
You’ll never let me go
Take it all away
But I still
know
That I'm Yours
I'm still Yours”
