You Are Enough

It's been one of those weeks where you can literally feel the devil shooting his arrows at you.

It's been several days of feeling like no matter what I do, how hard I work, how much I push, how hard I try, it's just never enough.

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but days like that start to make me feel like who I am as a person isn't enough ... I begin to think of all the things some people don't like about me and think if only I was _________ (fill in the blank), then things would be different and _________ (fill in the blank) would like me more. 

Thinking like that only leads to feelings of rejection and discouragement, feelings that personally make me want to stay home in bed all day which is what I felt like for the majority of this past week.

But, that's exactly what the devil wants; he wants me to believe all of those lies.

And, that's what they are---LIES.

God made me and you who we are for a reason, and that wonderful fact gives me so much peace because I know He accepts me and you just as we are. 

With Him, we never have to pretend to be somebody we're not.

There is no mask because He knows it all. He knows our flaws, our mistakes, our quirky personality traits and you know what, He still loves us and He always will.

This quote came across my Twitter account this week at the perfect time:

Your worth is found in HIM, not in them. ~Coleen York

And remember that with God beside you, you are always tough enough no matter how big the lion appears to be. ( I had this card in my mailbox this week by an anonymous someone.)

You are always enough in God's eyes and that's all that matters.
