I am..

As people we get so wrapped up in everything we are not.

I am not worthy, I am not enough, I am not pretty, I am not strong, I am not smart, I am not that kind of mom/dad, I am not creative, I am not strong enough, I am not capable, I am not loved, I am not brave, I am not that kind of husband/wife, I am not a good friend, I am not a Pinterest queen, no one will ever love me, I am not a good cook, I am not tall, I am unlovable… so on and so on.

We spend countless hours abusing our hearts, minds, souls and bodies. We play the comparison game. Constantly comparing ourselves to someone else’s highlight reel. Spending time speaking low about ourselves. We are so focused on everything we are not we miss who God has called us to be.

We don’t extend the grace we extend to others to ourselves very easily. Friend, you are brave and wonderfully made. You are an amazing mom /dad/brother/husband/wife / friend/daughter/son/ sister/ brother. You are more than enough. God loves YOU and created YOU to be YOU.

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made..” Psalm 139:14

Made in the image of God. In our weakness He is made stronger. Which in return makes us stronger.

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 1 Corinthians 12:9-11

Instead of being consumed by all that we are not, place more VALUE on WHOM you belong to. Shifting your focus can ultimately change the course of your thought life. It can change the course on how you view life. How you respond to circumstances,disappointments or to life in general. Friend, you are worth more than you give yourself credit, so much that Jesus gave his life FOR YOU.
