God of Enough.

The ads online, on TV, and everywhere we look shout: “Buy me! You deserve me! You’re only worthy with me!”
Some days we shout back: Enough!

And other days we let a theology and attitude of scarcity overtake us.
On those days we allow what we have define us, control us, and restrict us.

God provides enough.
God created each of us as enough.
God creates a world of abundance.
But our certainty of scarcity, our idolatry of the shiny, and our fears of others prevent us from gratitude, graciousness, and sharing.

We live in an abundant world.
Our creator makes it so.

Move our hearts, lessen our fears in this hour.
There is enough for all of us.

Praise be to the God of Abundant Love!
Praise to the God of Enough!
