You are enough~

If you believe God is enough for you, then you will always have enough. For you will always have God.

- Max Lucado, Every Day Deserves A Chance.


I was just so amazed at this quote when I read it. Indeed, the assurance that I will always have God with me is just brilliant. I was just reading the book in the train yesterday and it was about how there is no need for anxiety. Cause no matter what happens, God knows the itinerary and He has everything prepared already. Just as He provided the manna and the quail for the Israelites in the desert, He will provide for our daily needs daily. For help comes when we need it.

And as I read that, I just resolved not to worry about future problems, and just take a step at a time, and just rely on Him to provide for me at that particular time. I know the world has this mindset that relying on God is a weakness and that as long as we can help ourselves, we should not bother God and we don't really need God.

For me, sometimes I think the same way. Like God will only help me if I help myself and I shouldn't impose on Him too much. but I thank God that He has constantly assured and reminded me that His command is for me to trust in Him and to reply on Him! It's a command=) And I realised that the reason why we don't want to "impose on God" is because we think we are self-sufficient, that we just have to work hard to get what we want. And that is exactly what the bible calls the pride of life. The self comes first.

And honestly, I don't understand why we fight so hard to "seem strong" or "be able". because frankly, no matter how much we would like to say our achievements are so because of our hard work, isn't our lives and hence everything we do from God?

so for me, I'm just happy to be able to have my Jesus. let us not be afraid to trust in Him to provide and to shelter us. If He asks us to approach His throne of grace with confidence, then let us do so with faith=)

indeed Lord, You are all I need:)
