how often I put my Abba
in a box...
pulling Him down to my level
assuming He somehow needs me
oh He is at my level
but only because He reaches
down
to where I am
oh He "needs" me
to love Him
to worship Him
to live for Him
to bring glory to Him
but the "need" is very unlike
my definition of need
His heart longs for me to
surrender to His "needing" me
by admitting that I
need Him
I need Him more than the
air I breathe...
for He created the air
I need Him more than the
anything I own...
for it is His anyway
I need Him even more than my
precious family...
for they are His anyway
and the best, most amazing part of
admitting I need Him
is His response...
"I am enough
nothing I add to your life
could make Me more than enough
just as nothing I take away
from your life
could make Me less than enough
for I am enough, My child
I am enough when the sun
shines warm on your shoulders
I am enough when rain
pounds fierce on your back
I am enough when the river
runs gentle
I am enough when the
river rages
overspilling
flooding
consuming all around
for I AM the sun
the rain
the river
I AM
My love simply defies description
My love cannot be contained in the
universe massive created by My hands
so trust Me, My beloved one....
My love
My heart
My very being
can in no way be contained
in any box your mind
can imagine
I love you passionately
and that is enough
to carry you through the darkest night
through the brightest day
through times of prosperity
through times of great need
through times of joy boundless
through times of tears unending
My love will carry you through
until the day you see Me face to face
in majesty so tender
in love so limitless"
Ephesians 3:14-19
When I think of the wisdom and scope of His plan,
I fall down on my knees and pray to the
Father of all the great family of God ~
some of them already in heaven and
some down here on earth ~
that out of His glorious, unlimited resources
He will give you the mighty inner strengthening
of His Holy Spirit.
And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home
in your hearts, living within you as you trust in Him.
May your roots go down deep into the soil of
God's marvelous love; and may you be able to
feel and understand, as all God's children should,
how long, how wide, how deep, and how high
His love really is; and to experience this
love for yourselves, though it is so great that you
will never see the end of it or fully understand it.
And so at last you will be filled up with God Himself.
