Discover God's gifts hidden in seasons of lack
There are so many ways we experience lack in this life: loneliness, loss, underemployment, empty-nesting, literal hunger, the void left by a habit overcome but not yet replaced. Each creates a hole in our souls that we may try everything to fill--but only one thing is needed. Natasha Kennedy knows this not as a theological abstraction but as the daily reality in a body that cannot swallow food.
Through a debilitating chronic illness, Natasha lost her ability to eat solid food.
Lacking Nothing tells the story of that first year--the grief, the temptation, and the slow, grace-filled discovery that Jesus was not merely sufficient for her suffering but present within it.
"I will always experience the temptation to turn my head to the right or to the left, toward other pleasures or comforts to wash over my sadness or fill my emptiness. But this emptiness is my allotted suffering; it is my appointed opportunity to see Jesus fill the emptiness and be to me what he has always been."
This is a book for anyone in a prolonged season of lack--chronic illness, grief, loneliness, spiritual dryness, or any form of hunger that platitudes have failed to touch. Through her remarkable story of choosing to trust Jesus's promise that he is indeed enough, Natasha will encourage you to cling to him in your own pain and not let go.
Lacking Nothing is not a book about being healed. It is a book about being held--and discovering, in the depths of what you cannot fix or fill, that Jesus has been enough all along.
If your lack has brought you to the end of yourself, this book will meet you there, and point you to the One who has been there all along.
