Daze 22: What is Enough?

So how much food do you have stored? How much money is in your savings? Is it enough? Is it ever enough? I've been thinking about what constitutes enough and what that means during this Corona season of rationing and saving and hoping.
 
Then I thought about the bottom line -- Am I enough? Do I feel like I'll ever get it all together and have enough and BE enough. Then I realized that will never happen -- just like the answer to the amount of food or money. It's like the story of the woman, given three wishes by a genie, asked for just a small cottage instead of the hovel. After awhile, that wasn't enough, and she asked for a large home. After awhile, that wasn't enough, and she asked for a ranch on a lake with a beautiful forest nearby. After awhile, that wasn't enough and she asked for her own island and vacation home. And she found herself back in her original hovel.

I don't want that to be my story.  I know nothing will ever be enough except for the love of God in Christ Jesus my Lord. So here's my poem for today.
 

Enough: His Love Is Unstoppable

Is it true??

I’ll never be enough

I’ll never measure up.

I’ll always come up worth less than others.

I’ll never do it right.

I’ll never seem to please people I love

I’ll always mess things up.

Is it true?? Accusation vs. Reality

I’ll never be enough.

            That’s why Jesus came

I’ll never measure up,

            Jesus is the Ruler, not me.

I’ll always come up worth less than others.

            Jesus’ says I was worth dying for.

I’ll never do it right.

His eyes are all that count.

I’ll never please the people I love.

            Jesus is in love with me and He is pleased with me.

I’ll always mess things up.

            His righteousness covers me and I’m beautiful to Him.

Song of Solomon 8:6

Love is as strong as death,
    its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
    like a mighty flame.
Many waters cannot quench love;
    rivers cannot sweep it away.
If one were to give
    all the wealth of one’s house for love,
    it would be utterly scorned.
