In times of pain or sorrow, stress or anger, we like to have someone to go to, to talk with. Life just seems better when we have someone to bear and share our burdens with. Often times this is with a friend or a couple of friends, but God wants in on the conversation too!
Reading Psalm 116 this morning, I am reminded of the song “More Than Enough for Me.” It speaks of God being in our every moment and knowing all of our needs and emotions. The psalmist cried out to God and just knows that because of His great love for her, He will hear her cry. And like the psalmist, we too can know God in this way.
And what then is our response? Out of our recognition of and in response to His great love for us, out of ourselves we offer praise, worship, service, and sacrifice. When we are loved our natural response is to love back. That great love of God flowing into us in turn becomes love flowing out of us into other’s lives. The chorus from that song goes, “Jesus you’re all I need, You are more than enough for me.” He is all we need. He is more than enough. So let’s share a little!
