Not good enough. Not smart enough. Not loved enough. Not healthy enough. Not worthy enough. Not here enough. Not there enough. Not quiet enough. Not caring enough. Not letting go enough. Not forgiving enough.
Just not enough.
And then, I realize, the devil is whispering these things in my vulnerable and oh-so-sensitive ears. And I listen. Ohhh-ho boy, how quickly I listen, and my heart and self-confidence drops about two inches.
You see, these not enough's cover up what God is steadily telling me. And I am oh-so-inclined to listen to the devil before I listen to God and what HE is trying to say to me through these whispers.
The truth is, I am not enough. On my own, I'll never be enough. NO, not even if I am good, smart, loved, healthy, worthy, here, there, quiet, caring, letting go, or forgiving enough, I will still not be ENOUGH. But I have and serve a Savior who makes up for my weakness and is made stronger through my weak times.
Right now, I am so very weak, so He is oh so very strong! So now, I'll rest in His arms knowing I am loved and treasured more than I'll ever know. And His arms are big enough to hold you if you'd let Him...
