You Are Good Enough For Him

Even when you don't feel worthy.

“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:1

Lord, I am not worthy of you. I am not the person I once was, nor am I the person I want to be. I am praying to you to say thank you for my many blessings and I am sorry for sins that I commit everyday. I cast all of my cares and worries on you, and I strive for strength, wisdom, grace, and power. I want to be a vessel of your love, your persistence, your character, and your strength. Let me be a light on others to show them that even when we do not feel good enough for others, we are good enough for You.

Today I am faithful. I am faithful to all around me, but most importantly I am faithful to you. What is baffling to me is that I don't have to be faithful to you for you to be faithful to me. I was always taught to treat others the way you want to be treated, but you are the exception. I will never give you enough but you will always be enough for me. Thank you for excepting my mistakes, and still believing that I am good enough for You.

Today I am undeserving. I do not deserve you, Lord. I do not deserve your undying love because I cannot provide the same for you. I will never love you as much as you love me. Why is that? I can try everyday, but you will always love me more. And somehow, I will always be good enough for You.

Today I am sorry. I am sorry for my mistakes and the pain that I have caused others. I am sorry that I am not the person I want to be, and I am sorry that I do not talk to you as often as I should. I am sorry that I miss church sometimes, and I keep putting off my daily devotional. I am sorry that I am not worthy of your love, but I will always strive to be the best I can be. I am sorry that some weeks I turn away from you, and I am sorry that I ask for forgiveness so often. Why doesn't it matter that I make mistakes? You still think I am good enough for You.

Today I am confident. Through my anxiety, stress, and busy schedules, I am confident in you. I know that you look past my mistakes and you see the perfection I strive to be. You know that I am a child of God, and that I want to live my life for you. I am confident in You above all other things, Lord. I am good enough for You.

Thank you, Lord for allowing me to be good enough for You when I don't feel good enough for others.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
