Jesus is Enough!

       37. (Dad:) Basically, it’s the life of
faith that helps us to reach that place
where Jesus is enough. It’s the trials and
battles; the things we lose and sacrifice;
the things we forsake—and learn that we
don’t need; the times when we see Him
supply for us, satisfy us, and make us
happy despite our not having the things we
may think we need. It’s the forsakings, the
hardships, the fulfillment, the abounding
and abasing, all our experiences lumped
together that take us step by step—and
in reality almost forces us—to the place
where we truly feel and know that Jesus
is  enough;  He’s  everything  to  us,  and
compared to Him, nothing else matters.
       38. The way it works is that, on
the one hand, breakings, battles and
forsakings drive us to Him in despera-
tion and in need. On the other hand,
they remove the props and the crutches
that keep us from being more spiritual
and leaning more on Him, from really
discovering that He can be the beginning
and the end of our satisfaction.

  All the choices you make for Me bring
more and more of this passion into your life.
All the times you choose to stand on My promises
and put Me to the test bring you closer and closer
to this place of all-compelling love for Me. If you
want to reach this place where all you’ll find is Me
and the intense satisfaction that My completeness
brings, then choose Me over anything else each
time you are presented with a choice. Then you
too will be able to say with Livingstone, “I have
never made a sacrifice, for Jesus has always been
enough.”
