More? No thank you I'm full.
Growing up I was trained to eat everything on my plate, even if I did really like it I ate it. But I never took seconds. So, when Jen and I were "friends" (that is what we told everyone, but they didn't believe that we were more than just friends), she cooked a delicious meal of 5 cheese pasta. She used cheeses that I have never heard of or could pronounce. It was absolutely delicious, but the plate that she made for me was enough for an large Italian family. I ate all of it because it was delicious and she made it. She asked me for seconds and I answered that I couldn't eat any more if I wanted to. She then asked me why I didn't like it. I couldn't believe it. My mom shared my secret with her. I loved it, but I couldn't fit any more in if I tried.
Ever been there? Wanting more but not being able to fit it? Check out this scripture:
Why is everyone hungry for more? "More, more," they say. "More, more." I have God's more-than-enough, more joy in one ordinary day then they get in all their shopping sprees. (Psalm 4.6-8 MSG)
Do you realize that you have more than enough in God? I get so caught up in my days some times that I don't take notice that God is at work around me and in me and through me. I don't need anything else. I have all of God living in me, active in my life. It is so easy to get caught up in the mad rush to accumulate stuff that I miss the point that I have enough - no more than enough. I couldn't fit any more of God in me because I have all of Him there is. I just don't recognize or utilize His presence in my life.
I used to sing this song to the girls when they were little as I rocked them to sleep. This is so true. Think about these words today as you go through your day. Recognize that you have God's more-than-enough in your life already.
All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough
You are my supply
My breath of life
And still more awesome than I know
You are my reward
worth living for
And still more awesome than I know
All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough
You’re my sacrifice
Of greatest price
And still more awesome than I know
You’re the coming King
You are everything
And still more awesome than I know
More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me
More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough for me
