Contemplating Enough Love...

Contemplating how much is enough love for He who loves us with all He has! 1 John 3:1Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Not enough to live aware of Higher Power that existsNot enough to talk of love when deed does not acknowledge itNot enough, one day a week to give a pious nod to HeWho leaves ninety-nine sheep to seek one who is lost…one was me Not enough to make the most of what we boast and plan and dreamYet in turn holding the Giver of life in modest esteemHe who left His throne in Heaven for a cross on which he died Hallelujah, what a Saviour! God gave his best for man’s worstNot enough to say we love Him but refuse to put Him firstNot enough, a ten-percent-of-what-is-mine-mine to sufficeNot enough until we lie on the altar of sacrifice Not enough ‘til we seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousnessHeart and soul and mind resigned to His will with devoted ‘yes’Until we no longer worry about what morrow might bringNot enough until we love enough to give/leave our all to Him © Janet Martin No matter what we do, the most commonplace task becomes sacredwhen rendered for Christ!Yes, even picking potato bugs! 😅
