I am too fat. I am too broke. I am uneducated. I am single. I am divorced. I am married. I am not pretty enough. I am not strong enough. I am not knowledgeable. I have an accent. I dont have a nice job. I am....... Labels. Dont we all have them? They can stop you from living life to the fullest because they make you feel inadequate. The wish that something in your life was fixed so you could move ahead in life. However, the One that created you put you here for a reason. You are meant to reflect his glory. He loves to work with broken things so that only He can receive the glory. Moses thought he wasnt enough because he stuttered in his speech. Gideon felt small- he said he came from the smallest tribe and he was the least in his family. King Saul hid himself because if fear. One day when I wa feeling this way, I felt God tell me Doreen, you are enough because of the one that lives in you. Paul struggled with the thorn in his flesh and three times he asked God to take it away. 2 Corinthians 12:8-9 Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. Be encouraged. God is able to use that which seems like a thorn in your life to accomplish so much in your life and the lives of others. What looks like a negative in your eyes might be the very thing God uses display His glory.stop wishing you were different- thinner, cuter, richer, more intelligent, taller etc and just allow God to use you to he a blessing in His kingdom JUST THE WAY YOU ARE. Allow God to use your weaknesses, pain, failure, shame and all. You are worthy, you are precious in His eyes, you are HIS.
