What does it mean to be enough?
In the world it means you have the right clothes, shoes, hair, skin. It means you look right, have the right clothes and act cool. It means you are able to fit in. You succeed in your work. You succeed in your family. People sing of you accomplishments. You are talented, look like you have it all together and can handle anything. You aren't emotional, different, or unique.
Do you think these things are what define you?
Or maybe do you think maybe, just maybe, God made you different for a reason? That he sees you as enough.
You see, on earth as Jesus walked and talked to people he reached the people we would not see as enough.
The cheats, liars, whores. He taught them, loved them, and dwelled on the earth with them.
He saw them as enough when the world saw them as lacking.
He knew that his payment on the Cross would be enough to make them enough.
He knew they were formed by God, for God.
He knew we were made by God and loved by God, and that was enough of a reason for Him to be nailed to a Cross to die a brutal death. All for them, for you, for me.
As Easter comes quickly, and I hear a lot of my precious friends question their worth, I found my heart crying these words to God in my prayers "They are enough!" and it made me realize I am enough. It is not because of anything I have done, but is all because of everything Jesus did.
I am enough because of Grace. I am enough because Jesus would've died just to save me.
We are enough. So let's start living like it. We are to walk in freedom as adopted children of the Most High GOD!
I don't know about you, but I think if Jesus can say I am enough, then I can try to believe it.
