Be made whole!




I honestly cannot get enough of this song. (ironic right? haha!)

Do you ever have those times where music/lyrics are the only way to express the place you are currently? This song by Dustin Kensrue is it for me right now.

We live in a society where we are always striving. Striving for that next thing, the next chapter in our lives, our next big break, financial success, relationship status, etc. But none of that matters, its never going to be enough!

However, I also don't believe that we shouldn't be "striving" toward dreams and passions, because God has placed those on our hearts and he wants to give us those things but don't allow that to be all you seek. Because that will NEVER be enough.
"Though all the wealth of men was my to squander and towers of ivory rose beneath my feet. Were palaces of pleasure mine to wander the sum of it would leave me incomplete."

Don't be left incomplete and don't fool yourself that something is going to make you happy and bring you joy. True and lasting joy is only found in Him!

(I am saying this to myself probably more than I am to any of you...)


Be encouraged dear friends... He is our enough! YAY!

Lyrics:

Though all the wealth of men was mine to squander
And towers of ivory rose beneath my feet
Were palaces of pleasure mine to wander
The sum of it would leave me incomplete

Though every soul would hold my name in honor
And truest love was always by my side
My praises sung by grateful sons and daughters
My soul would never still be satisfied

It’s not enough, it’s not enough
I could walk the world forever
Till my shoes were filled with blood
It’s not enough, it’s not enough

Though I could live for all to lift them higher
Or spend the centuries seeking light within
Though I indulged my every dark desire
Exhausting every avenue of sin

It’s not enough, it’s not enough
I could walk the world forever
Till my shoes were filled with blood
It’s not enough, it’s not enough
I could right all wrongs, or ravage
Everything beneath the sun
It’s not enough, it’s not enough

To make me whole
It’s not enough, it never was
Awake my soul
It’s not enough, it never was

It’s not enough, it’s not enough
I could walk the world forever
Till my shoes were filled with blood
It’s not enough, it’s not enough
I could right all wrongs, or ravage
Everything beneath the sun
It’s not enough, it’s not enough
Though all would bow to me
Till I could drink my fill of fear and love
It’s not enough, it’s not enough
