Light In The Darkness... ...hey, with you: big week ahead. No matter what's happening -- the bottom

...hey, with you: big week ahead.
No matter what's happening -- the bottom line is God's got you -- so fear can't get us!

Isn’t the fear that I am not enough, really the lie is that God isn’t enough?
And He looks you right in the eye & whispers:-

You have enough of Me & courage to do this hard thing.
You have enough of Me & strength to not give up.
You have enough of Me & love to keep on giving.
You have enough of Me & peace to know that you are carried.
You have enough of Me to simply rest.
You have enough of Me -- and I am enough.
You are enough -- because the great I AM is in you...
and with you... and for you.

And that alone is completely enough.

This reminds me of a song "more than enough " hope you've heard it.

Ive not heard a song...but I do know the poem. Beautiful.
Indeed, Our God is More than Enough.

........come close on a quiet ~
When life feels like it's off its rails .....we will Stay in the Story and remember.
God is still on His throne. You are in the hands of the God who writes straight with crooked lines..yet though the lines of your life feel crooked, He promises The Story will come out straight.

"I will go before you and make the crooked paths straight." Isa. 45:2
Jesus IS the end of our story ... and the beginning of our story and the best part of our story. ✟

We are always loved with the Gift of a tenderness.
We can live bitter ...... or we can live Beloved.

We can walk away .... or we can walk in The Way ....and let Him who is The Way show us the way to walk.

We can trust our changing feelings alone ... or we can trust in the unchanging love of God alone.
We can feel abandoned ..... or we can abandon ourselves to God.

And the kindest truth is... When we feel most abandoned by God, is when we can choose to abandon ourself to God.

We can feel nothing.... yet still always be 'held' throughout everything.
