Sometimes I catch myself wondering if I'm good enough. I wonder if I'm a good enough friend, if I'm good enough for my major, or even if I'm good enough for a boy. I get in a slump, and sometimes it's hard to find my way out. I bring myself down and instead of making myself better, I make myself worse. I pick out every flaw I have, and instead of looking at all the good things about myself, I look at the bad. Sometimes all a girl wants is to feel wanted. The devil tells me that I will never be enough. God says different.
I tend to rant to my friends. A LOT. Sometimes they have to remind me that I'm telling them the same story I've told them three times already. I don't want to be the girl that's always negative or always has a sad story. I want to be the bubbly girl that is always positive and never has anything bad to say. I want to be the girl that is always happy. Even though I know my family and friends would do anything in this world for me, I still don't want them thinking I'm a sad person. So when I get in a slump, sometimes I feel like I have no one to turn to. God says different.
That's when I feel stupid. I let my feelings build up inside of me until I'm on the verge of losing it. God wants to hear it. He wants to hear everything. Any worries, any fears, any concerns, he wants to hear it all. That's when I turn to prayer. I tell God anything and everything. I talk to God like he's my bestfriend. I put it all in his hands and pray so hard that he will lead, guide, and direct me in the path he has chosen. That's when the faith comes in. He has a perfect job for me, a perfect man for me, and a perfect plan for me. All I have to do is trust in that.
How great is our God? I mean seriously. I have failed him so many times, and he is still forgiving. Sometimes I catch myself complaining about not having this or not having that, and he continues to bless me more than I deserve. I have questioned why he has removed certain people from my life, and he still remains faithful. When I feel alone, he reminds me he is always by my side. God tells me I am enough.
Why am I so worried about being good enough for other things when I am enough for God? I have a purpose, and for anybody reading this, you have one, too. Trust In God. Put it all in his hands. He wants to take that pain out of your heart and fill it with his love. With arms wide open, God wants us to run to him. Run to him for everything and trust in his perfect plan. Don't let those feelings build up inside of you. Allow God to take that weight off your shoulders and handle it himself.
You are enough. You're more than enough. Whether it be with relationships, friends, family, a career, you are good enough. Thank you God for getting me out of this slump and reminding me of my worth. Thank you for you're never ending love. Thank you for reminding me that I am enough.
