More? No thank you I'm full

Growing up I was trained to eat everything on my plate, even if I did really like it I ate it.  But I never took seconds.  So, when Jen and I were "friends" (that is what we told everyone, but they didn't believe that we were more than just friends), she cooked a delicious meal of 5 cheese pasta.  She used cheeses that I have never heard of or could pronounce.  It was absolutely delicious, but the plate that she made for me was enough for an large Italian family.  I ate all of it because it was delicious and she made it.  She asked me for seconds and I answered that I couldn't eat any more if I wanted to.  She then asked me why I didn't like it.  I couldn't believe it.  My mom shared my secret with her.  I loved it, but I couldn't fit any more in if I tried.

Ever been there?  Wanting more but not being able to fit it?  Check out this scripture:

Why is everyone hungry for more?  "More, more," they say.  "More, more."  I have God's more-than-enough, more joy in one ordinary day then they get in all their shopping sprees. (Psalm 4.6-8 MSG)

Do you realize that you have more than enough in God?  I get so caught up in my days some times that I don't take notice that God is at work around me and in me and through me.  I don't need anything else.  I have all of God living in me, active in my life.  It is so easy to get caught up in the mad rush to accumulate stuff that I miss the point that I have enough - no more than enough.  I couldn't fit any more of God in me because I have all of Him there is.  I just don't recognize or utilize His presence in my life.

I used to sing this song to the girls when they were little as I rocked them to sleep.  This is so true.  Think about these words today as you go through your day.  Recognize that you have God's more-than-enough in your life already.

All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough

You are my supply
My breath of life
And still more awesome than I know
You are my reward
worth living for
And still more awesome than I know

All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough

You’re my sacrifice
Of greatest price
And still more awesome than I know
You’re the coming King
You are everything
And still more awesome than I know

More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me
More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough for me
