My heart is so overwhelmed today! I know I am born-again—on my way to heaven, and a child of the King. No doubt about that whatsoever. But there are times where I feel like I am not enough—like my all is not good enough.

After All, I’m Only Human!

All my life, I’ve felt like my all was not good enough. The more I tried to please others (especially in my own family), and never really thought I was accepted, the more this idea of not being “good enough” flooded my weary mind. I know I shouldn’t allow the enemy to send discouragement my way to defeat me, but after all, I’m only human, right? How many times have we rehearsed this in our minds? I’m ashamed to admit the number of times I’ve said this.

As an only child growing up in a single parent home without a father, and a mother who was not really emotionally attached, my heart yearned for genuine love. If only I could’ve heard sweet words like, “I’m proud of you,” “You’re beautiful,” “You’re special,” or even, “I love you,” it would have made a tremendous impact on my life.

I believe the greatest mistakes I made in my life during the teens years, resulted from not hearing these simple words from a loving, caring parent. I felt I wasn’t good enough. Unimportant. Insignificant.

What a horrible place to be as a young person! I lived a lonely life always feeling as though my best wasn’t good enough no matter what I did. But thank God for grace! It wasn’t until God reached down deep into my longing, wanting soul and saved me when I was twenty-six years old, that I finally felt loved! He let me know I was loved, good enough, special, beautiful, and all the words I so desperately desired to hear growing up.

It’s all because of what Christ has done for me (His death, burial, and resurrection), that I can know I am more than enough. Thank God for His saving grace in my life. I have a loving Father who says I am ENOUGH! Not only am I enough, I am accepted in the beloved (Ephesians 1:6). That just puts the icing on the cake!❤

The Beauty of Realizing You’re Enough.

Just writing this post has lifted my spirit to move beyond this feeling of worthlessness. I don’t have to look for man’s approval of me. I will never please man to the fullest extent. My job is not to seek to please man, but to please God. I know if I’m pleasing the Lord with my life—with my walk with Him, that’s all that really matters.

What a blessing it is to know I AM completely enough in Christ! My God sees me as being enough. As a matter of fact, when He sees me, He doesn’t see me at all. He sees His dear Son living in me.

I’m not perfect. I make plenty of silly mistakes. I don’t always walk in the Spirit of God as I should (though I strive to daily). But one thing is for certain…my God loves me unconditionally. Now that’s what I call…Blessed Assurance!😊

Your All is Good Enough with God.

If you feel like your all isn’t good enough, this post is for you! You are good enough! You are special! Take it from me, if you find yourself in a place of rejection—like the things you do are not enough, you’re not alone.

I know there are many other ladies out there who struggle with this same issue. I’m one of them. I feel your pain. That’s the purpose of this blog. My goal is to share my experiences with you as candidly as possible. I want to be as real and as open as I can possibly be when it comes to sharing things in life that would otherwise be subjects that some would dare to share.

I don’t want to paint this picture to appear to my readers as if my life was “perfect.” I have many days in which I struggle with insecurities in every area of my life. I’m not the perfect daughter, mother, homeschool parent, Sunday School teacher, friend, and the list goes on. But I serve a perfect Savior! He is growing me into the perfect flower (Christian, that is) He wants me to become. Thank God for His perfect plan for my life!

Do you sometimes feel as if your all is not good enough? Do you worry about pleasing others more than pleasing God? Put your mind at rest TODAY! Realize your job is to please the Lord. Period. He can take care of the rest! Your all is good enough with Christ!
