101 Days to Be Encouraged

Dear Friend,

I was thirsty and really wanted to buy a soda. The machine in my area has sodas for 1.25 but I only had 1.00. You should have seen me scraping for change. I searched every purse and drawer but could not find 25 cents. I walked to my car and began to talk to God; "God I need 25 cents and I know you can provide. Now maybe I'll see it on my way to the machine but I know I'll find it." I walked all the way to our soda machine and did not find any change. A little disappointed, I said, "Ok God. What is the message in this because I didn't get my 25 cents and I don't know how I can obey you in the little things if I can't believe you will give me 25 cents." At that moment, I looked at the soda machine and saw that there was bottled water for only 1.00. I smiled because I was reminded that it has been in my spirit to stop drinking sodas and begin to drink more water so God was actually keeping me from doing what I was not suppose to do.Friend, with that, I want to encourage you by saying to you that "you already have enough". I know how easy it is sometimes for us to keeping working towards something but the truth of the matter is that that isn't what you really need. You may be "looking for more money" for a particular relationship or a particular job. Maybe you think you have to go back to school or buy more clothes but God is saying "you already have enough. You are already approved.” The person that God wants to bring in your life likes you just the way you are. You are already qualified for the job that God wants to give you. You have enough. You are enough. So continue to trust God, knowing that His grace is sufficient for you and you too will have all that He has promised!
