Quotes about Sufficiency

When all else is done, God is enough, everything, and always.

God is our refuge and our portion. Meaning, we don't have to be enough. He is all we need. We either embrace that or we walk away empty-handed.

The size of a challenge should never be gauged in terms of our capability. What we have to offer will never be enough. God never calls us to provide; that's His responsibility. Instead, He calls us to commit whatever we have—even if it's no more than a sack lunch. His call comes with a promise:

I exist as I am, that is enough, If no other in the world be aware, I sit content, And if each and all be aware, I sit content.

The power imbalance between male and female, the fear between God and humans and the enmity between humans and nature, are all described in Genesis 2 and 3 as originating not in the nature of things as God intended them to be, but rather in the collusion of Adam, Eve and the serpent, who together deny the goodness and sufficiency of the garden and distrust the good intentions of the creator.

Ain't one limb enough?

That is true plenty, not to have, but not to want riches.

Our heavenly Father understands our disappointment, suffering, pain, fear, and doubt. He is always there to encourage our hearts and help us understand that He's sufficient for all of our needs. When I accepted this as an absolute truth in my life, I found that my worrying stopped.
