You ARE "enough" (Encouragement Post)

I'm not exactly who is reading this right now and where you are currently in your life, but I just want you to know that YOU ARE ENOUGH. Sure, things could be better as we ALL have room for improvement, but the enemy will have you believing that you aren't enough. Have you ever had thoughts that you weren't good enough, pretty/handsome enough, smart/intelligent enough, etc.? Those are all tactics to get you believing that you aren't worth more which is a lie sent straight from the pits of hell. Jesus already paid the price for YOU and I by dying a gruesome and shameful sinner's death on the cross though he was the most innocent, blameless being. You know, there are so many things we all go through on a daily basis that would have us thinking <less than< of ourselves. Society has told us that women need to have long, beautiful hair, clear skin, straight white teeth, driving the latest model car, a nice house, a top paying job, money overflowing in the bank, etc. to be considered "something". And society has told men that they need to be clean cut/shaven ALL of the time, have muscles, degrees and top paying positions out the ying yang, etc. to be considered that "it" dude as well. But the question I ask of you now is do you know that you're good enough RIGHT WHERE YOU CURRENTLY ARE?

Many of us would probably say NO because we feel as if we still have work and some growing to do. That is true and perfectly fine, but before we give in to what society says we "should" be and what we "should' do, we must go to the father and ask HIM what does he desire out of our lives. You don't have to dim your light, lose your self worth, go broke to impress people, nor talk, act, or look a certain way just to feel accepted by "people". Man may  require all of those things and then some, so much so to the point you forget who and whose you are. But the most important thing is making sure you are living a life for Christ and HIM only. So regardless of what you've done and what you're currently doing, just know that you are not too far from God or too low or dirty for him that he can't reach down, pick you up, and clean you up again. Because he already paid the price for us, our sins have been forgiven, therefore we are made right with him! Yes, please do whatever you have to do in order to live a pleasing life unto God, but just know that giving in to the enemy/devil only lowers who you are as a person. You ARE "enough" right now to do a might work for God. Don't ever allow anyone tell you that you aren't good enough to do what thus saith the Lord and be sure that you aren't telling people those things either. God has equipped us all to do amazing things because he sees in us what man can't see. He loves you and so do I! SHINE ON!
