Something in which I've come to learn about over the past year is a very common myth that I believe we all turn to and think about, dwell on, or are even convinced by from time to time. This myth that I'm referring to is that voice in your head or maybe even a physical person that tells you that your not good enough. We all know what it feels like not to be accepted in one way or another and being honest, not being accepted, not being wanted, maybe even someone tossing you to the curb and seemingly replacing you with someone they feel is "better" . This hurts and while every person experiences it and therefore feels it differently, I think it's safe to say we all know that hurt somehow. Tonight I want to debunk this myth of not being good enough. First of all, I don't care who you are or what mistakes you've made or where you are in your life right now. YOU are GOOD ENOUGH! Every person on this earth is here for a reason and no person has the right to tell someone else any different! I know saying this won't keep it from happening, but my hope is that after reading this, it will be engraved in your brain that you aren't only good enough, you are valued, you are beautiful and you are worth it! You are worth time, you are worth effort, and you have a God given right to live your life knowing you are loved and wanted. People will try to tell you different, but by doing so they don't get to drag you down, they are only pulling themselves down. If someone tosses you to the curb and seemingly replaces you, please don't blame yourself. Look at it this way, if someone does that then it isn't your loss, yes it will hurt no doubt but that's because your human and as humans we feel things. If it's that easy for someone to say goodbye then let them because as much as it hurts, they weren't meant to be in your life and I can promise you, I may not know you but others do and the not only the people who do know you, but the people who will in the future, they will love you. You will find your people who build you up and know you for who you are, the people that support you and fight for you, and honest truth, sometimes we have to lose people in order to make room for the ones who will soon mean the most. You will find your people, but first you need to not only find yourself but know yourself, so please above all tonight... Know that you are worth it! Know that no matter what your mind says, no matter what other people say, you are good enough! You are amazing! You are here for a reason and you have the right to live your life with the knowledge you are loved and wanted! And in case someone hasn't told you tonight, I may not know you but your a creation of God and therefore I love you and so do a million other people, sleep well knowing that tonight <3
A thought came to me today as I stumbled upon some inspirational posts. Why are we often so eager to escape our troubling circumstances. We get trapped in the fire and get so focused on getting out that perhaps we miss the most important question of all, what refining needs to be completed in the fire? Just as a welder uses the fire to shape and refine metal, so God uses our circumstances, "fires" to shape and refine us. If he simply swooped in and saved the day, we would lack the knowledge he hopes us to gain, we wouldn't grow in character or wisdom. In the fire we think he abandom us, left us to our own devices, but in reality he is more present in the fire even then in the calm. It's when we feel abandoned that he's calling to us the loudest, beckoning us to just open our ears to listen to his voice. Take the fires in stride, don't immediately reach for the extinguisher. Allow the flames to surround you with the confident knowledge that the one whom the...
