Enough

This is the time in life where everything changes. I have been told that over and over again. I understand it. Because that has been the pattern for a couple years now. Friends come and go. Some stay. Regardless, there are lessons learned; lessons taught. Words are spoken, only a few are heard. Incredible amounts of coffee are drank, so we can continue to be awake. Students have graduated, family is growing up.

All of these things seem to dictate our world. But the one thing that holds us close is time. There is never enough time. Or there is too much time. There's no middle ground. It's never good enough.

Enough.

That word intrigues me. Although some may say that they can attain their ideal when there is enough of such and such; they don't really mean it. Because contentedness is not something that Americans are well versed in.

Definition of enough.

"Occurring in such quantity, quality or scope as to fully meet demands, needs, or expectations"


Honestly, I've never liked the word enough. Because society always tells people that they're not good enough. That is constantly what we strive to be; good enough for others.

Am I good enough? 

Maybe you don't ask that outright. Maybe it is an underlying theme in your life. Maybe you strive for being good enough without even realizing it. But here's the thing. 

You ARE good enough.

There is no measure of how good enough you are. But when it comes to what God thinks of you, you are good enough. You are exactly who you are supposed to be and he loves you for that. This is one of the truths that God has been speaking to my heart lately. I don't have to prove my worth to anybody, because I'm good enough. 

This is a truth that is a reminder of the greatness of our God. No longer must we prove our value. We are valued and enough for our God. It is never a competition of who can be the best Christian. No, sir. You are good enough. That truth sets us free. Live in the truth.
