it is enough

"i cried unto the Lord with my voice,
and He heard me out of His Holy Hill,
i laid me down and slept and a waked,
for the lord sustained,
for he sustained me.
thou, oh Lord are a shield for me,
my glory and the lifter of my head."

"Thou Oh Lord" )

it is enough
for this moment
it is enough
for tomorrow
it is enough
for the day after tomorrow

it is enough
for the angst of loneliness tonight
it is enough
for the persistent nagging voices that continue to cry "failure"
it is enough
to break through the pain of singleness
it is enough
to break through the ache and disappointment of not having children
it is enough
for trying to understand the drifting apart of a friendship
it is enough
for the career crossroads i am at wondering what i'm to do in the next chapter of my life
it is enough
for the myriad thoughts about life


He see my tears
it is enough
He hears my prayers
it is enough

His love is abundant
it is enough
His grace is abounding
it is enough
He is tender
it is enough
He is hope
it is enough
He is healer
it is enough
He is promise
it is enough
He is patient through my hormonal ramblings this evening
it is enough

He brings relief
it is enough
He brings peace
it is enough
it is enough
it is enough

it IS enough

"it is enough that Jesus died
and that He died for me."

(and you)

("My Faith Has Found a Resting Place," by Lidie H Edmunds, 1891)

"but you, o Lord,
are a shield about me,
my Glory,
and the One who lifts my head.
"
(Psalm 3:3, NASB
)

Beautiful Karyne! Thanks for sharing.


But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Thanks Carol, my fellow alto and friend! Thanks for that verse...it's beautiful and a good reminder for me. I'm glad our potter is still molding us!
