when i have nothing left

enough
©4-26-16 hannah mclean

You are enough

no matter the deficits i hold
nor the reality of my inability to fill them
no matter the wounds that mar me
nor the reality of my inability to bind them

i may stand before You
with startling gaps of insecurities
with fraying edges where i have been too long battered
with scars that leave me beyond recognition

but i do not stand before You alone

You do not cringe when You look upon me
You do not turn away in disgust
You do not pass by on the other side of my desperation
You meet my gaze
You lift my head
You kneel beside me in the dust

You are enough

You are enough for the moments
when i can bear it no longer
You are enough for the moments
when my voice is hoarse from pleading
You are enough for the moments
when i’m worn so thin a breeze could blow me apart
You are enough for the moments
when i have nothing
when i am nothing
when i feel nothing but pain and dread and longing and doubt

if all i have as i face my tomorrow
is You
this i know
i have enough
