Have you done or written something, and on hindsight know that it is something too wonderful for you to think of, and it must be of divine download? Last night was one of those nights.
I was just sitting before God and there was this thought “I am not the best”. A few years ago i would probably have reacted in silent resentment, and strive to do better. Yet yesterday, God taught me a new answer:
I don’t seek to be the Best, I only seek to be Enough.
Confident enough to speak to a large audience, yet Humble enough to admit my mistakes.
Loud enough to be heard, yet Quiet enough to hear God.
Smart enough to make wise decisions, yet Innocent enough to believe upon his very word.
Rich enough to give, yet Poor enough to know that it belongs to him.
Quick enough to win, yet Patient enough to care.
Strong enough to walk through the storms of life, yet Weak enough to know that he had always held my hand.
Stubborn enough to stick to my principles, yet Soft enough to be moulded by him.
Brave enough to take great steps of faith, yet Centered enough to know that my willing heart is more than enough for Him
Wow, i myself am amazed at the words from my pen, yet i know i am just a mere conduit.
You might have guessed that i am now kinda obsessed with the word enough, but i think time has put a nasty negative spin on the word Enough, where we are used to hearing “Enough is enough”, “I had enough of your nonsense”, and don’t truly give Enough, enough credit.
Society’s strife for success has also placed much pressures on individuals of all ages and the stress lines are very visible in our society from high divorce rates, to teenage suicides and drug abuse. These are all symptoms of greater roots be it negligence, abuse and fear.
At times all it takes is the word Enough, to prevent one from sliding down that slippery slope of self destruction.
A parent saying to his kid, i don’t need you to top your class, your best is enough for me. A couple saying to each other, i don’t need you to find great success and live in a big house, having you by my side is more than enough for me.
Sometimes the absolutes of life take a toll on us, from being the best, to having zero errors, and we neglect the many balances of life and nature.
That is why Zero is the new bad word.
