Blog EntryWhen is Good Enough Enough?Apr 10, '08 5:20 PM
for everyone
"Enough" is such a strange word. Stare at it and say it out loud. I don't know if you're like me, but doing that eventually makes the word look so strange and lose its meaning. Try it here: enough enough enough enough enough enough... Does it happen to you too? Hahahaha!

Anyway, that's not my point. I'm blogging coz I saw this cartoon. Click the picture to go to his site. Doug Savage is such a genius.
So much of the media and advertising is all about how you and I aren't good enough. We aren't:
        
smart enough,
             rich enough,
                 thin enough,
                     buff enough,
                        white enough,
                            dark enough,
                                pretty enough,
                                    talented enough,
                                         fashionable enough,
                                            important enough,
                                                loved enough,
                                                    accepted enough,
                                                        etc.

Because of this we run around like headless chickens. We pay any price, endure all kinds of humiliation and subject ourselves to so much stress just to attain that elusive "good enough."

All the while we fail to realize that Jesus died for us. Not just so we could live "good enough" lives, but so we could live life to the full. Let's not get suckered into things that won't fulfill. Let's go to the source. The great thing is He did all this for free, and He's...
...more than enough.
