Enough - Tori Harper

Enough.
It's a word we hear a lot...
"THAT'S ENOUGH!!" screams the frustrated mother.
"Have I done enough?" asks the student, wondering if they have studied all the materials for a big test.
"When will it be enough?" asks the husband who has caught his wife cheating... again...
"Enough for today..." says the tired teacher who can't seem to get through to their students.
"Am I not enough for him?" says the worried wife who has just caught her husband looking at pornography again.

Am. I. Enough.

There is something about this question that haunts me, and I think intrinsically maybe haunts us all. In the end, are we enough? Am I enough in my marriage? Am I enough for my kids? Am I enough as a teacher? Am I enough as a Christian? Am I enough for Jesus?

But that isn't actually the question - of course we are not enough!

The question is: is Jesus enough for you. If you were without anything, nothing that you find you want or think you need on a daily basis. Without that - would God still be enough for you? When it all goes wrong, remind me that you never fail.

If nothing else but You remains, let it be enough...even when my eyes can't see... you are enough.

Because it is in that moment, that moment when you find that God is enough for you, then suddenly, at that moment you are enough. Because it is in our most broken and humbled and empty and willing to serve form that God can look at us and say "well done, you are enough."

It's a funny kind of currency - that when we are nothing we are enough, and when we are full of ourselves on our own we can never be enough. It is only through Jesus that we can put aside fear and shame, finding our enough in Him. The one who made us and loves us.

May He be enough for your today.

Disclaimer:
This song is a fairly new release, and apparently the singer/author hasn't put it out in an easy to link to from here. So here's a link to iheartradio, Spotify and Apple Music. As soon as I find it on youtube I'll update this post to include it, right now there is only a video of her talking about her newest song (Enough).

 When all hope seems lost
When I feel afraid
When it all goes wrong
Remind me that you never fail
Remind me that you never fail

Let your Spirit wash upon my face
and turn my grieving into praise
and if nothing else but you remains
let it be enough
Oh let me raise this simple song
for the one who gave it all
I am nothing Lord without your love
Let it be, let it be enough
Let it be enough

When I can't find sleep
When my eye is worn
When I can't find peace
Remind me that you never fail
Remind me that you never fail

Let your Spirit wash upon my face
and turn my grieving into praise
and if nothing else but you remains
let it be enough
Oh let me raise this simple song
for the one who gave it all
I am nothing Lord without your love
Let it be, let it be enough
Let it be enough

Even when my eyes can't see
Even when I am in need
Even then my soul will sing
you are enough
you are enough

Even when my eyes can't see
Even when I am in need
Even then my soul will sing
you are enough
you are enough

Let your Spirit wash upon my face
and turn my grieving into praise
and if nothing else but you remains
let it be enough
Oh let me raise this simple song
for the one who gave it all
I am nothing Lord without your love
Let it be, let it be enough
Let it be enough
