Enough

Hebrews 13:9 (MSG) Don't be lured away from him by the latest speculations about him. The grace of Christ is the only good ground for life. Products named after Christ don't seem to do much for those who buy them.

Idolatry is something us humans are attracted to quite easily. I grew up in the catholic faith and Catholicism is full of 'sacred images'. As a child I loved to buy Holy Cards, they had a magical significance to me, yet they did not save me.

I dedicated my young life to the pursuit of things of God, but did not find Him until 19 away from the catholic environment.

I used to gaze up into the faces of the statues of Mary and Christ and wonder, I preferred Jesus. The lighting of candles, the carrying of Rosary Beads, the constant attendance, often daily, at mass did not save me.

Praise God my Jesus came to me in His way. I had left the family home to begin a nursing career and went a long way away from home. It was here that the Lord gave me two 'born again' christian friends who ushered me into a relationship with the Lord I had longed for.

His grace saved me, His love poured out to me. There is nothing I can do that adds to what He has done for me. All I can do is love and obey. It is Him I seek! His presence is life to me, His way is rest to me.

'You are my salvation Your gates are praise......my deliverer, my deliver, my deliverer is the Lord.' (song Chris Tomlin)

My Lord You are enough! Amen!
