Enough

I'm thankful that when I'm not selfless enough, not steadfast enough, not giving enough, not focused enough, when I'm broken and confused and distracted and selfish, when I forget to yearn... even in all of those times, I'm thankful that You are enough.  That Your grace is enough, and that it is new every morning.

I don't deserve it.  I did absolutely nothing to earn it.  Teach me to abandon this selfish pride, this desire to serve only myself.  Teach me to surrender my brokenness instead of trying to hide it.

Thank you for all sufficient, abounding grace.  Thank you that it will be new tomorrow.  Thank you for being steadfast in your pursuit of me even when I am not.

"The Lord always keeps His promises; He is gracious in all He does."
- Psalms 145:13

"'But then I will win her back once again.
I will lead her into the desert
and speak tenderly to her there.
When that day comes,' says the Lord,
'you will call me "my husband"
instead of "my master."
I will wipe the many names of Baal from your lips,
and you will never mention them again.
I will make you my wife forever,
showing you righteousness and justice,
unfailing love and compassion.
I will be faithful to you and make you mine,
and you will finally know me as the Lord.'"
- Hosea 2:14, 16-17, 19-20
