YOU ARE ENOUGH.
Hey Sister!
How have you been this week?
Jesus just wanted me to remind you that you are Called. Seen. Chosen and
Loved by him. He never again wants you to feel like you are not enough,
because you are.
Often times, we can fall into the trap of focusing too much on others-
we get so carried away by their progress rate, their gifts, talents,
job, marriage, career, home, kids, personality type etc- that we judge
ourselves and feel like our lives don't measure up. We feel like we are
just not good enough and we ultimately fail to see that there is beauty
in us and that our lives are perfect the way God has made it.
But hey, you are GOD'S MASTERPIECE. His
prized possession. His very own special creation. And I'll tell you, he
really wanted me to tell you this today.
So i was studying my bible innocently in the course of the week (off
topic from this mail) when he (God) suddenly interrupted me and told me
to begin writing all that i am telling you now because he wants you to
hear it! How fierce is that love huhn?!
Instead of comparing yourself or feeling like you don't "qualify" as
being enough, trust your life into the hands of Jesus and find
fulfillment in him. Also consciously begin to DEVELOP yourself while at
it. Work on those character flaws and weaknesses that are preventing you
from being a better version of your self (and hey, everyone has this).
Work towards becoming more caring, loving and supportive towards people
around you and generally aim to live a life of doing good- not because
you are trying to qualify or impress, but because you want to be the
best for yourself.
I once saw a word photo that said "the grass looks greener on the other side because it is often watered and mowed!
For some people, you have had seeds of rejection and hatred sown into
your life from childhood..either by your father, mother, siblings,
friends or relatives, and you have grown up with that vacuum of multiple
insecurities, feeling unloved, unaccepted or undeserving. Jesus wants
you to know that you don't need to live your life from that place of
hustle and pressure, because he loves and accepts you completely- It is
not about what you do or don't do.
For some others, you feel as if your life is lacking in one major thing-
it could be anything. So you often say oh, if only i had just studied a
different course, then my career would have been more guaranteed. If
only i was more beautiful, then i would have been more accepted. If
only i was born to rich parents, then i would have better chances at
life. If only i was taller, more intelligent, less extroverted more
this, less that..and the list continues. Naa, you don't need anything
extra. Jesus has created you perfectly already. Has given you your best
life already. Choose to accept YOU the way he has made you.
Basing your worth on human standards is useless. It becomes an endless chase that never truly completes you.
Only the God-sized love can fill that hole in your heart. Let Jesus love
you! He wants you to know, that the works of his hands are perfect, and
since he made you, you are right in his perfection! (Psalm 111:2)
Never feel pressured to go out of your way, bend rules and compromise
yourself to impress anyone or be like someone else. You are fabulous
enough the way you are. Don't let the enemy trap you. Fix your gaze on
your savior's acceptance of you.
Embrace you.
Love you.
Do you.
Exhibit you.
Maximize you.
Encourage you.
Appreciate you.
ACCEPT YOU.
You are kind, thoughtful, loving, amazing, beautiful, strong and unique.
There are 7.6 billion of us on planet earth and yet there is only one of you.
Whoa!
No one shares your finger print, DNA, footprint, hair texture,
dentition, complexion, and other of your unique features with you. I
don't know how you see it, but that's a pretty strong message from your
creator!
He says you are his best creation yet!
I once watched a documentary of a guy born disabled- speech impediment,
85% blindness, stunted growth, hunch back and some other bodily
complications. Yet he was so happy, content, living purposefully, and
sharing the love of Jesus to the world. I still remember his simple
opening words in that documentary because it shook me to my core. He
said "Though disabled to the world, i am able to God"
Wow!
That's a guy that has chosen to love and accept himself just the way his creator made him.
I want to encourage you Sis, no matter where you are now or what your
life currently looks like, know that you are good enough. Jesus is
writing a beautiful story out of your broken life/situation. Don't wait
for the world to define you or categorize you or even validate you.The
world will never fully accept you or see you as enough. Make the choice
today to accept ABBA'S approval of you- pressure free.
Live your best life!
