Scarcity

When we define something as scarce it means we have an unlimited amount of a desire for something from a limited resource. 
Time is scarce. Money is scarce.
I was sitting in my Econ class yesterday and my professor was explaining this to us and I started to think of things that are scarce in my life.
Time, yes. Money, yes. Love, occasionally. Prayer, sure. Friends, absolutely. Intimate meeting with the Lord, can be.
But here's the catch for me. All of these things that I consider scarce, the Lord claims are unlimited. His love is overflowing, He knows no time, my money is His, prayer is on my heart, friends grow through the love of Christ and in that prayer I realize that His grace is sufficient for me and it is then that I meet face to face with the Lord.
So, heres what's up...
My heart feels heavy lately and I can't tell if its a good heavy or a bad heavy. I have a lot on my mind and a lot on my heart that I'm confused about. But I know one thing: the things I consider scarce and limited, the Lord simply smiles and says to me, "I am more than enough for you. Anchor yourself in me. We are winning, I AM fighting for you."

We have only heard the greatest whispers of how great He is. Let's keep listening.

  1. Things that seem scarce, when given to God, ultimately have no limit. Sometimes we are the ones who put attachments on things and see them with limits and borders. Rather when seeing it through God's eyes, things have a much bigger capacity to will.

    I'm praying that your heart finds freedom.
