Just Enough


At times when you find yourself in a financial bind
Satan will promise you just enough money,
Just enough to buy everything you ever wanted, then leave you in debt
When you want fame, he will promise you just enough time in the spotlight,
Just enough to let the lights blind you
When you then ask for space, he will give you just enough,
Just enough to hide from the world in shame for selling out
When you find yourself fallen and holding on by just your fingertips
Satan will throw you just enough rope,
Just enough to hang yourself with
He will cut you just enough slack,
Just enough to cut yourself with
Just know that whatever he offers you, it will always be just enough,
Just enough to keep you from salvation,
Just enough to keep you from a loving Redeemer,
Who wants you to give up the “just enoughs” that Satan offers
For all the love you need to stand on your own two feet again
All the love you need to accept His love again,
All the love for you to know better next time…
When you need a friend
There will be two that automatically offer themselves
One offers just enough…the other, all you need
Who will you choose?
