Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

It’s enough.

Some days, all God needs

you to do is wake up and open

your eyes when the sunrise streams

through the blinds and kisses

you first thing in the morning.

It’s enough.

Some days, all God needs

is for you to walk into the kitchen,

pour yourself a glass of orange juice

and take a sip, one of those sweet

pulpy sips that feels less like drinking

and more like chewing, like you've

taken a bite of the ripest, juiciest orange.

It’s enough.

Some days, all God needs

you to do is step outside

during a sun shower, tilt back

your head, open your mouth

and taste both the sun and the rain.

It’s enough.

Some days, all God wants

you to do is sit with Him

for a while, there in the orchestra

seats down by the water’s edge

and listen to the symphony

the angels play as the trees shake

the morning mist from their leaves.

It’s enough.

Some days, it’s enough

that you remembered to breathe,

because maybe tomorrow,

you’ll have the strength to sing.

Amen.
