When life hurts...

    ...Christ is sufficient.

When my dreams crash...
    ...Christ is sufficient.

When words hurt...
    ...Christ is sufficient.

When I am afraid...
    ...Christ is sufficient.

When I cannot see through the black...
    ...Christ is sufficient.

When I can't take another step...
    ...Christ is sufficient.

When the fight is too hard, or too long, or too costly...
    ...Christ is sufficient.

When I am inadequate...
    ...Christ is sufficient.

When the future is uncertain...
    ...Christ is sufficient.

When temptation comes...
    ...Christ is sufficient.

When I sin...
    ...Christ is sufficient.

When I am too weak...
    ...Christ is sufficient.

When I wish I was someone else...
    ...Christ is sufficient.

When I am healthy, joyful, and satisfied...
    ...Christ is sufficient.

When I am sick, broken, and lost...
    ...Christ is sufficient.

In everything...
    ...Christ is sufficient.

    He is my Adequacy. He is my Joy. He is my Prize. He is the One for whom I will lose all things that I can be found in Him. He is worth any cross, any toil, any pain, any trial. He is worth every storm. He is my Father. He is the One who purchased me. The One who redeemed me. The One who pursued me. The One who wooed me, who drew me to Himself. He is my Lover, the One who relentlessly pursued me and unconditionally loved me.

    He is sufficient.

  1. We couldn't ask for a better God. :) Because it's a busy morning and I don't have the time right now, I'm coming back here later today to print this off and put it in my room. But as for now, I will remind myself of this throughout the day. He IS sufficient.

    My God is awesome, and you're awesome. Keep living the things you put here, and stay strong, my friend. :)

    1. Thanks, Lauren. I hoped it would encourage you like it did me in writing it. Our God is incredible.
