Enough

I wrote this awhile back when I was having a rough night, and the thing is that it applies on the good days just as much as it does on the bad. Here is what I wrote.

"It's funny how Faith in Christ works. I recently heard a sermon where the gospel in our hearts was likened to coins in a vending machine. Sometimes the coins get stuck, and don't drop to the place they are supposed to drop. Same with the Gospel sometimes, the words come in and get stuck in our heads, not finding their way to the place they are supposed to reach, our hearts. I know I for one struggle with this. Knowing something in your mind but it takes time to reach your heart. For example I know that God is more than enough for me and is everything I need, but why do I get down sometimes and look for satisfaction or approval from somewhere or something other than Christ? I wish I knew. I just pray that I continue to wrestle with this until the Gospel finally drops in my heart and I "get it". I pray that I feel in my heart what I know in my mind, that Jesus Christ is more than enough for me and can fulfill any want and need that I ever have had or ever will have. I hope if you are feeling the same thing that this will be an encouragement to you. I pray that the Gospel and complete Faith in Christ, that he is enough, will drop into your heart."
