He loved them enough, enough to leave heaven and make the journey into the caustic daydream that he might offer a sacrifice grand enough to be enough for all was owed and none might pay.  It is not enough for me to try to live a life that meets the measure of my own good understanding.  If that were enough then none of this would have ever been relevant and wouldn’t now be struggling with our growing or ebbing faith.  This play in which we’ve been cast was written and designed by much greater thought than yours or mine.  These rules are the plans of God and therefore the payments, challenges, worthiness and gifts follow his understanding, not mine.  Try as I might I cannot imagine men giving up a perfectly lived life that all people might have the choice to live forever, be redeemed to the Creator and live their lives now free from the burden of sin.  Those are thoughts entertained by a greater mind than mine.

Since I was never able to be enough, being enough just doesn’t matter.  For this thing this grand redemption is something planned, executed and extended as a gift by the Hand that made us.  Therefore, for simplicity’s sake it is enough simply to say that His sacrifice was enough and in so doing acquiesce to the guidelines presented.  And in so doing understand that this gift is something that continues to grow, replenish, provide and preserve each of us in our journey to splendor.  It is enough to say, it’s okay Lord I believe.

What pressure remains to a man who has already relented to reason, purpose and direction?  What journeys are too long, arduous or intolerable within the Hand of God?  How many days must I spend in conquest, defeat or mediocrity to make this life worth the living, when living it is the meaning for which I have been selected?  It is enough to enjoy it enough because without the price having been paid in my stead, it would be all that I ever would have.  So the promise of eternity is more than enough to make up for the sadness of not being rich enough, charming enough or talented enough, to become someone who might be remembered in the annals of humanity.  For I meant enough to God that He sent His Son who was more than enough to pay the debt which I would never have had enough to pay.  Jesus, More than enough for me.  Amen.
