NEVER ENOUGH

When our dependency relies

On all external forces,

For our emotions to be satisfied;

Never enough will be all sources.

Because it simply cannot be enough

To satisfy our soul,

Since our insatiable hunger will increase

To create a deeper hole.

We’re not created to idolise

Money, silver or gold,

Neither people nor relationships

That can create strongholds.

We’re simply made to worship God;

Our sweetest Heavenly Father,

And in selfless ways with servanthood

To sincerely love each other.

But when our wandering hearts

Are constantly desiring,

For fulfilment from all worldly ways;

It’s God we’re not admiring.

Never enough when we don’t love God

Since a substitute is required,

To fill that vacuum from within

With all worldly of desires.

Jesus focused on the Father

And exhibited His ways,

As He’s the express image of Almighty God

And for our souls the price He paid.

When Jesus simply is enough

Our thirst will not remain,

As we’re filled and nourished from within

When faith in Him will stay.

When Jesus is enough…

That hunger from within,

Is satisfied once and for all

As we’re forgiven from all sin.

Worldly ways are never enough

Never have been or ever will,

It’s only God that fills that void within

When His forgiveness is instilled.

“Do not love the world or the things in the world.  If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  For all that is in the world – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life – is not of the Father but is of the world.  And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.”  1 John 2:15-17

“Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.  Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.”  Philippians 2:3-4

“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.  For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers.  All things were created through Him and for Him.”  Colossians 1:15-16

“I am the bread of life.  He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in me shall never thirst.”  John 6:35

“If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.  He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”  John 7:37-38

“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.  But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”  Matthew 6:14-15
