Good Enough for Him

I wept today, while crying out to the Lord.
For the past couple of weeks, I felt particularly far from Him.
I could not put my finger on what was causing it (or maybe I can).
My spirit was uneasy.
Prayers were brief, almost not quite sincere.
I felt He was "unfair" in so many ways.

Today, while I worshipped Him with "This Kingdom" (lyrics and music from Geoff Bullock) in the quietness of my room, something in me broke.
I felt Him say again what I need to hear over and over.
"I love you, my child."
He whispered. Quietly, but surely.
And that was enough for me.

Hours later, this message sank deeply within.
It's a message we all need, yet desperately do not seem to know.

So many times we let the world tell us: 'You are not good enough.'
'Not good enough to get good grades.'
'Not good enough to be a good parent.'
'Not good enough to do a good job.'
'Not good enough to be promoted.'
'Not good enough to get married.'
'Not good enough to be desired.'
'Not good enough to have close friends.'
'Not good enough to beat this illness.'
'Not good enough to be loved.'

"You are good enough for Me", says the Lord.

And if you, you, and each and every one of you, are good enough for the Maker of this universe, the God of heaven and earth, the Lord Jesus Christ, at whose Name every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that He is God, you are Good Enough.

Don't you let anyone tell you otherwise. (Note to self as well)
