It is enough

It is enough that you are alive and able to experience this beautiful day. It is enough that you can choose to live with joy and thankfulness in your heart.

Much of life’s anguish comes from the empty pursuit of more, more and more. The way to truly grow is to let go of your needs.

Much of what you think you need, you don’t. Much of what you cling to holds you back.

When your thoughts are filled with envy, resentment, want and desperation, it becomes nearly impossible to get anything done. By contrast, when you know you have enough, you become amazingly creative, effective and productive.

To experience abundance is simply a matter of knowing that it is yours. Remind yourself that what you are is enough, that what you have is enough for this moment, and you’ll find yourself immersed in abundance.

It is enough that you are here now and able to move forward with positive intention. With a joyful heart, live fully the real treasure that is already yours.

Luke 22:54-62

“And having arrested Him (Jesus), they led Him away, and brought Him to the house of the high priest; but Peter was following at a distance. And after they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter was sitting among them.”

“And a certain servant-girl, seeing him (Peter) as he sat in the firelight, and looking intently at him, said, “This man was with Him too.” But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know Him.”

“And a little later, another saw him and said, “You are one of them too!” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!” And after about an hour had passed, another man began to insist, saying, “Certainly this man also was with Him, for he is a Galilean too.” But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, a cock crowed.”

“And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him, “Before a cock crows today, you will deny Me three times.” And he (Peter) went out and wept bitterly.” Luke 22:54-62 (NAS) Forward to a friend

Luke 2:40-52

“And the Child (Jesus) continued to grow and become strong, increasing in wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him. And His parents used to go to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. And when He became twelve, they went up there according to the custom of the Feast; and as they were returning, after spending the full number of days, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. And His parents were unaware of it, but supposed Him to be in the caravan, and went a day’s journey; and they began looking for Him among their relatives and acquaintances.”
“And when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, looking for Him. And it came about that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them, and asking them questions. And all who heard Him were amazed at His understanding and His answers.”

“And when they saw Him, they were astonished; and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You treated us this way? Behold, your father and I have been anxiously looking for you.” And He said to them, “Why is it that you were looking for me? Did you not know that I had to be in My father’s house?” And they did not understand the statement which He had made to them.”

“And He went down with them, and came to Nazareth; and He continued in subjection to them; and His mother treasured all these things in her heart. And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.” Luke 2:40-52 (NAS)
