Contemplating how much is enough love for He who loves us with all He has!
1 John 3:1
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us,
that we should be called children of God!
Therefore the world does not know us,
because it did not know Him.
Not enough to live aware of Higher Power that exists
Not enough to talk of love when deed does not acknowledge it
Not enough, one day a week to give a pious nod to He
Who leaves ninety-nine sheep to seek one who is lost…one was me
Not enough to make the most of what we boast and plan and dream
Yet in turn holding the Giver of life in modest esteem
He who left His throne in Heaven for a cross on which he died
Hallelujah, what a Saviour! God gave his best for man’s worst
Not enough to say we love Him but refuse to put Him first
Not enough, a ten-percent-of-what-is-mine-mine to suffice
Not enough until we lie on the altar of sacrifice
Not enough ‘til we seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousness
Heart and soul and mind resigned to His will with devoted ‘yes’
Until we no longer worry about what morrow might bring
Not enough until we love enough to give/leave our all to Him

No matter what we do, the most commonplace task becomes sacred
when rendered for Christ!
Yes, even picking potato bugs! 😅

That is a great question. And I love your poetic answer.
