You Are Enough - Part 3

YOU ARE ENOUGH

Forward: Have you ever struggled with not feeling good enough? Do you struggle with self-worth and feel like your life experiences and struggles have left you feeling alone and like you don’t matter? Take heart. God does not make useless things. No matter who you are, how messy your life is or what trials you’ve been through – YOU are loved by God and you alone are enough for Him.

Day 3:

You are enough.

Have you ever doubted that you are enough? Have people, your status in life, or experiences made you feel that way? 

It is a battle that many people fight every day.

Sometimes things happen or people can make us feel like we are not good enough for them or good enough to get the job done. This can leave us feeling empty, alone and like we just can’t measure up. It’s a horrible feeling that can make us wonder if we are lacking or missing something and it can make us feel desperation, sadness and even guilt.

But take heart! 

YOU are enough and you always have been! 

We live in a very broken world. 

There are people in our lives that are hurt and their best defense is to hurt other people and they do this by making others feel small and little and not worth it.

First, you need to know that you are not alone. 

There are more people feeling this way than you could imagine. We need to use a different measuring stick on whether or not we are good enough. 

You are not good enough because of your job or your marriage status or because of what anyone thinks or says.

The measure of you being good enough solely comes from God and nobody else, and let me tell you, He not only thinks you are, but he KNOWS YOU ARE! 

The bible tells us that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made”. 

The bible also says that “God knew us before we were even formed in the womb”.

God does not make useless things my friend. God made YOU and that is what makes you enough!

Prayer: Lord, help me to see past what others say and know that I am enough simply because I am yours. Give me the wisdom to know the difference and to see my worth through you. Thank you for creating me and loving me, Lord. I pray these things in your name, Amen.

 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew^[a] you,

For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
¹⁴ I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.
¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made in the secret place,
    when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
¹⁶ Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.
