Once our remodeling was done, almost four years ago, I added this verse to our entry room wall. It is visible from the street and the front patio. It is also the first wall you encounter when you step through the door. Needless to say, its purpose was to constantly remind me and others where our trust must be. 
However, as with other familiar sites, it became less noticeable over time. Well, that is until the Lord saw fit to have me glance up from watering the patio plants and the only word I saw was "all". Such a little word but it exposed exactly what God was doing in my heart. He had uncovered an area that I did not want Him to touch. I wanted to hold onto it and hide it from Him (ha, ha!).
I was caught! "all" means "all". I knew it; He knew it. He knew only a portion of my heart (however large) was not enough--for Him or me.
My first response was chiding myself for putting that verse right there. Silly me--if I had NOT put that verse up on the wall, He would have found another way to expose my hiding place. God is like that. He is trustworthy . . . yes, even with all of my heart.

He is ALL that we need. Enough. Plenty. Sufficient. One little three letter word. That would also be GOD. I love you.
