Life really isn't very easy, you know. I don't know why I thought it should be easier over time. I didn't receive such a promise in a declaration or rule book. Yet there are extreme high points... devastating low points... Times of exhiliration and times of worry. Times of faithfulness and times when we are just plain unsure. Yet every day I am sure that "whatever issues" which I may be dealing with are never as much as the weight of the sins of the world. And I don't have to hold all those sins while hanging from a cross.
Yet... sometimes I just want to give in and say "Enough"!
Through my tears, heartache, and daily battles I think when will I get to "Enough?" When can I "call the game" and declare a winner? Our mother used to tell us "Enough is Enough".
And so my thought process goes...
Haven't I given "Enough" yet?
Haven't I taken "Enough" from those who steal, lie and cheat me?
Haven't I shared "Enough" with those I care about, and then those I don't even know?
Haven't I endured "Enough" with perseverance, staying the course and holding steady?
Haven't I talked "Enough" about doing what is right... every time and in every case?
Haven't I felt "Enough" when my heart breaks for those in misery?
When is "Enough" ?
My message begins to evolve in my mind....
How do I know when I have cared "Enough"? When I am unable to care anymore?
How can I care more?
How can I give more?
How can I share more?
How can I forgive more?
How can I love more?
How can I endure more?
Then I realize... I hope I never get to "Enough"...
