‘I pray to Thee O God, by Your goodness, give me Yourself, for You are enough for me.’ - Julian of Norwich

Is He enough?

In plenty and in want, in strength and in weakness, in the good and evil - is He enough?

When I find myself in want, weakness, and evil - is Christ enough here?

When I find myself in plenty, full of strength and experiencing good - is it still Christ who is enough here?

The character of God never changes (Heb 13:8), He is good and does good (Ps 119:68), and truly ‘…no one is good except God alone’ (Luke 18:19). This good God is near to all who call on Him, to all who call upon Him in truth (Ps 145:18). He is God with us, God for us, and God among us, and His nearness is our good.

‘But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the LORD GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all Your works.’ Psalm 73:28

Lord, your nearness is our good. Thank You that You are near to us as Emmanuel. You are near to the broken-hearted. You are closer to us than we are to ourselves. May we be aware of Your nearness to us today. Amen.

Near,
