Is God Enough?



Is God enough for you?

This is a very important question. One that all Christians need to consider.

Is God enough for you?

Some of you may wonder what I mean by that question. Let me explain.

Is God enough for you?

Is He more important than your friends?
Whatever popularity you may have?
Your money?
Your romantic relationships?
Your family?

Something I've been processing through recently, if I lost all these things, would God still be enough?

Would I still be able to smile knowing God is in control? Would I still be able to find joy through the midst of trials? Would I still rely on God to give me everything I need?

Because, you see, God is always enough. It's just a matter of whether we make Him enough for ourselves.

Are you searching for happiness outside of God? Maybe you are searching for love and belonging inside the confines of a friendship, family, or a relationship. Maybe you're looking for happiness in money or popularity.

Those things will never be enough.

They will eventually fade away. Those friendships may die, the money will get spent, and the crowds will forget you in a couple years.

All these things will not lead you to happiness. That's why it's so important to realize that God needs to be at the center.

He is the only One Who can give you true joy; not happiness, but joy.

When we realize that God is enough for us, we won't be searching for belonging in any of these places. Because we know that nothing compares to knowing Jesus Christ.
"But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea, doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of al things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ." ~Philippians 3:7-8 KJV

    SO much truth here! Christ is beyond enough, and we must believe it instead of chasing after temporary things. :)

Whom Do You Say That I Am?

"He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." ~Matthew 16:15-16 KJV One of the most important questions in history. Whom do you say that I am? Imagine Jesus, standing in front of you asking you this question. What would you say? "Well Jesus, there's a lot of people who say You were a prophet or just a good person, even a good moral teacher. They say..." But whom do you  say that I am? Who is Jesus? Was He just a good moral teacher or prophet? Did He come to earth to simply help people out? To help them with their problems? Or was He more than that? Your eternal destiny hinges on the way you answer this question. Our God is a personal God. He asks each of us individually to receive Him. He gives each of us the choice to decide if we're going to believe what's true or what's false. Because at the end of the day, He's still God regardless of wh...

Don't Be Afraid to Stand Out

Photo by  Joshua Earle  on  Unsplash In our culture, there seems to be a lot of pressure to conform . You know, to fit in with everyone you're friends with, and only do what is 'culturally acceptable'. I find that there's a lot of pressure (shall we call it peer pressure ?), especially during the teen years. There's pressure to fit in - by getting into the cliques, by wearing "cool" clothes, and just by generally blending in with everyone around us. We want to be liked by our peers, and there's nothing wrong with that. But I'm here today to tell you: You don't have to conform. You don't have to be like everyone around you. You don't have to be the teenager who rebels, the guy who sleeps around, or the girl who goes to every single party. You don't have to be popular to be loved. Because that's what the culture says is cool. That's what the world around us is doing. You can rise above that. You can be so much mo...
