Enough!
Too often
we face
a battery
from life’s
competition
and rat race,
the opinions
of the opinionated,
the criticisms
of the critical,
the pounding
of the power-brokers,
the constant
negativity
pouring
into our lounge
from the television -
until we cry,
"Enough!
Leave me alone!
Turn it off!
I can’t stand it
any more!"
But through
the jangling noise
and conflict
that buffets us
comes
a quiet
insistent voice
that says,
"My grace
is enough for you,
my strength
is made perfect
in your weakness!"
Yes, Lord -
it is enough!
