"What does it mean, 'Jesus is enough'? When our youth/high school students wear the burgundy-colored T-shirt with 'Jesus is enough' across it in big, white, bold letters, what does it mean?"
"While you're chasing after money, or something else to fill that void inside of you, you don't see that Jesus should be all you need."
I realized that what I have been doing, chasing after different people and eating, eating so much, and then loathing myself afterwards, is just me trying to control aspects in my life. Because of everything that I have no control over is driving me nuts, I try to force my weight down. Instead, it fluctuates, and rebels against me. All this time, I've been turning away from Jesus and my religion, and now I'm lost because I have nowhere to go, no one to talk to.
"But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ -- the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith."
-Philippians 3:7-9
