God is enough. God is ample. God is sufficient. God is amazing. God is awesome. God is the great I AM. There is nothing above or below, east or west, near or far that means a hill of beans if not for God in my midst, in my life, in my heart.
When I think back to my first walks with the Creator of the universe, I see a lot of complaining, grieving and distress. Oh, I was grateful too, but usually following a dramatic lament. At some point in those first several months, my eyes began to see differently. Sometimes when I left the house early in the morning, I’d notice the sky, the sunrise, an interesting cloud–a foretaste of a beautiful walk. Even as I brushed my teeth, I might glance out and see a white fog mingling through black branches in my yard and brush a little faster, eager to go. Some days it was as if He met me at the end of the driveway with a billboard in the sky, Come on! I’m anxious to see you!
I’m so grateful that God listened and comforted me. He is merciful and He took my pain, but He didn’t stop there. He filled my soul every day with His great love and blessings. God is eager to give, He fills, He wholly satisfies. He helped me make room in my heart by sweeping out the old, whisking it away and replacing it with Himself. He is all I need. He is all.
Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul. I cried to him with my mouth, and high praise was on my tongue. If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. But truly God has listened; he has attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me! Psalm 66:16-20
