..Never Doubt that you are Enough. If the God who created the Heavens and the Earth could extend his unimaginable gifts, talent, and artistry to create the Beauty that we see around, above, and below us each day, would he get to you and decide to Slack off and make an insufficient creation? No!
Instead, God created YOU for a specific Purpose. You have a specific Role to play within His greater Plan for not only the World, but also the lives around you. God has placed in each of us something that is Beautiful, Admirable, and Unique. No two people are exactly the same. Our individual functions within the Body of Christ are just as beautiful and unique as we are.
No, you may not be as tall, or thin, or musically talented as the woman beside you. No, you may not be as muscular, or athletic, or boisterous as the men around you. But You ARE More than Enough!
You are more than enough, woman, when a Compassionate Heart, Kind words, and Attention to detail are needed to not only Help those around you, but also keep the team together when working on that stressful project.
You are more than enough, man, when Patience, Integrity, Accountability, and the ability to Lead by Example and Delegate responsibilities while Connecting with others are needed to Rebuild and Strengthen your Community and Change its trajectory so the next Generation can Thrive and Grow up knowing Peace and Prosperity instead of Strife and Poverty.
So, the next time you find yourself looking in the mirror and wanting to change the way you look, remember You are More than Enough. The next time you find yourself trying to be a Follower when the group always ends up Looking to you for Wisdom, Leadership, or Guidance, remember you are More than Enough.
Will everyone see you that way, all the time? No. Does that mean that it is ok to Stop being who you were created to be in exchange for being who you were Expected to be, or Compared to? Absolutely not! It does mean, however, that in Knowing WHO you are and what you were Created for you no Longer have to be Trapped by Comparison or Exhausted by trying to Be who you are Not. It means that you can Encourage yourself, and Others, in remembering that You are Beautiful, Important, and Unique. You are More than Enough!
You are More than Enough to accomplish the tasks ahead of you. You are More than Enough to complement the Person you were created to Share the highs and lows of Life with. You are More than Enough to Change the Present and have a Positive Impact on the Future and those who are looking for God-fearing Role Models. You are More than Enough to Look to God, whose Grace is sufficient and Love is unconditional, for Guidance and Strength and Pursue a Life of Purpose that Matters. You are More than Enough.
Never let anything or anyone make you feel like you have to Compromise, Modify, or Deny the Purpose, Gifts, Talents, Body and Appearance, or Promises that God has made and Created in order to “Fit in” or be Accepted. Someone, somewhere, may be in need of You just as You are, not someone like you or the “You” that is trying to be like someone else. Why? Because.. You are More than Enough..
