He is Enough

Hiya readers! Wow, I can't seem to wrap my head around the fact that it's already July 2nd! I thought my summers felt like an eternity when I was younger now they feel so short. It's crazy how we perceive and don't perceive time. But on with the post!

Lately I've been thinking really hard about my relationship with Christ. I'm not going to lie, I still let my mind get the best of me of doubt. But even more so, I worry about not being good enough. I think about all the ways I have failed. Being a encouraging, uplifting sister, being an obedient daughter, trying to live a sin-free life. I falter to be those things 24/7, and sometimes we just tend to really beat up on ourselves because we aren't good enough.

But here's the thing. No matter how much I stew in my self-pity and drag myself down, I will never be good enough. 

You heard me. Never. Nor will anyone else on this planet ever be good enough to make it on their own.

You see, there was only one perfect person, Jesus Christ. He came, lived a perfect life free of sin, then said, "You know what. These people and future people cannot make it on their own. They cannot bear the weight of the world on their own." So He went, and died a gruesome death on a rugged piece of tree just because He loves us. More specifically, He loves you.

You.

He loves you so much, he would get beaten, whipped, and crucified to a cross JUST BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU. This is where I personally fail. I feel like I don't deserve His everlasting grace, mercy, kindness, goodness, etc.. I feel unworthy. And I am. I still ignore that Jesus pushes that aside anyway and says "you're right. You aren't enough. But I am."

How amazing is it that we as humans still sit feeling sorry because we aren't enough when He always sits waiting like a giant neon sign flashing, " I AM ENOUGH AND I LOVE YOU ALWAYS."!

We must take this in to account, that he will always offer forgiveness and He will always, always be sufficient. Even when you aren't.

always.
