I'll Be Happy When... I Get Enough
Why is that we always seem to think we'll be happy when we get a little more... money, success, prestige, power, or things? We live in an age when we are surrounded by the message that we don't have enough - we need to buy, attend, listen, read something to be happy. Is there another way to live? Listen to hear how the apostle Paul ends his letter to the Philippian church with the key to freeing ourselves from 'get-enough' syndrome.

Who Gets the "Leftovers"?
Jesus reaches out, beyond the nation of Jews, beyond the religious, beyond the law-abiding, beyond the proper, and preaches love your neighbor as yourself. He extends “loving neighbor” to include love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you (Matt. 5:44)—to include tax collectors and even the despised Samaritans—to include us, no matter our sins or our failings. No one is a leftover in God’s eyes. Everyone is loved. Everyone is special. We’re all chosen people. Jesus carries forward the promise God made again and again: to take care of the needy, no matter who they are or what their need is, for all are children of God, and Jesus does love all of us. Jesus' humanity gives us hope that our own humanity can rise to the level of his—that we can learn God’s will and grow in understanding and in the ability to surrender to God’s will—that what we are today is only a beginning for what we can become. In these ways, God’s realm will keep expanding, through us, just as God’s mercy keeps extending out and out and out, so that none are left out or left-over, except those who choose not to come in. “There’s a wideness in God’s mercy” for us all. Thanks be to God!
