you are more than enough.

Based off of Exodus 36:

O God, we are gathered here this day, to declare that we love you and say that we are grateful for you

We gather to say you are more than enough

More than enough. That you, God of the heavens and the earth, would dwell with us, even for a moment

It would be more than enough

If your grace, mercy, love, forgiveness, and compassion ceased tomorrow, if we never received another blessing from you, we would still know that

You are more than enough

In our brokenness

You mend us

In our ugliness

You delight in us

Though we reject you

You accept us

Though our faith is so brittle

You remain faithful

You are more than enough

You are more than enough

You are “able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think”

You empower us through the Holy Spirit

You do more than enough

Our cups overflow

They overflow with a love and hope undeserved

May we not sit as idle wells, as reservoirs never used. But rather,

May we pour ourselves out for your Kingdom

For the Shalom of our communities, with generous hearts, out of abundance in you,

May we bring our gifts, our resources, and our lives to be a part of building your Kingdom, for your glory, now and forevermore. Amen.
