(Dad:) It's the life of faith that helps us to reach that place where Jesus is enough. It's the trials and battles; the things we lose and sacrifice; the things we forsake—and learn that we don't need; the times when we see Him supply for us, satisfy us, and make us happy despite our not having the things we may think we need. It's the forsakings, the hardships, the fulfillment, the abounding and abasing, all our experiences lumped together that take us step by step—and in reality almost forces us—to the place where we truly feel and know that Jesus is enough; He's everything to us, and compared to Him, nothing else matters.
38. The way it works is that‚ on the one hand, breakings, battles and forsakings drive us to Him in desperation and in need. On the other hand, they remove the props and the crutches that keep us from being more spiritual and leaning more on Him‚ from really discovering that He can be the beginning and the end of our satisfaction.
Guess where it's from. ;) and to the one who gets it right, they're rewarded a cyber raisin cookie (whole wheat of course) yey!
