You are....enough.

What if I told you that no matter where you're at in life that you are enough? Do you feel like you immediately want to disagree? Do you immediately think of all the ways you aren't enough?  I came to this realization yesterday at church that as humans, we are incredibly negative on ourselves. We constantly make ourselves feel less than and we assume others feel the same way. We pour so much energy into trying to create our "perfect" selves. We workout, we diet, we use makeup, we use filters on instagram, honestly anything to portray ourselves as "perfect".  

Wherever you're at today, remember that you are enough. Whether you are a mother, father, son, daughter, husband or wife, you are enough. This is to everyone who looked in the mirror this morning and felt ugly. To everyone who is feeling insecure. To everyone who feels like they just aren't living up to other people's standards, and especially their own.  If you are depressed, have anxiety, failed a test, embarrassed yourself in front of someone, we're told you are weird, got fired from a job, you are still enough. If you weren't able to accomplish even one task for the day, if the dinner you worked hours on turned out disgusting, your kids didn't listen to anything you asked, you are still enough.  

Whatever lies the world is telling you, always remember that you are valuable.... just as you are. You are worthy of love. You are worthy of respect.  Learn to love yourself. Learn to see yourself for the amazing human you were created to be. When those bad thoughts enter your brain of not feeling pretty, not feeling worthy of someone's love, not feeling like you're living up to your full potential, push those thoughts aside and remind yourself of truth. YOU ARE..... ENOUGH.
