It isn’t enough

During the period adjoining the end of 2023 and living with the hope of welcoming 2024, I have this lingering thought on my mind. Perhaps, I didn’t feel enough or did not do enough as expected from me.

I did not want to end the year with a bitter note nor did I want it to be simple yet have a very deep wound, hope, and inspiration to hold onto my journey of the uncertain life.

I’m weak in my thought
And I didn’t feel enough
Man will never feel enough
Of his accomplishments
And what he is missing
Indifference of his field
It’s a driving force to go on
A heavy rock to carry on.
The best is yet to come;
The best by his grace only!

Not enough:

Sometimes I’ve written more than enough or never enough depending on whom I’m talking to. Most of the time, ‘more than enough’ when talking about what the Lord God has done for me.

Personally, in my life, I felt it wasn’t enough. I felt I was far away from what I wanted to achieve. Not only that it isn’t enough to be unable to fulfill the obligations.

Yet I also accept everything happens for the good of me or either the purpose of me being put to work. I cannot know everything if it isn’t the time yet.

It isn’t enough:

There were times when I saw that my contributions and my way of life were not enough. I’m alone is not enough for me. I can’t look after myself and my well-being.

But I believe I’m heading towards my better self. There must be more to life.
I took courses to improve myself, but it wasn’t enough! There is something beyond me.
I’m good at recognizing my weaknesses. But helpless to work on it.

Jesus is enough:

When I felt helpless and never felt enough, Jesus wanted me to depend on him. Has done it all for me.
So (I) we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” I took refuge in him. Psalms 118

I deserve death and destruction, but Jesus is my life and salvation. 1 Thess.5:9
I cannot please people nor have the riches to give so that I may receive more love and appreciation.
I am hopeless, but Jesus is my hope. Romans 5:21
I am chosen to be his, very closely with him.
But as for now what I’m doing is not enough.
Kindly bear with me.

It is enough:

I’m not enough on my own
The best is yet to come in his grace
My God is more than enough!

It’s enough when it isn’t enough
I’m enough when it isn’t enough
Only by his abiding grace!
