The hard truth I wrestle with is this: I am not enough. Often this idea frustrates me. I am a chronic striver. I strive day in and day out to please and perfect, to find a better way to do something that already works just fine. Good enough is never good enough. If I’m honest, I am exhausted. The trying and planning and doing and being is robbing me of any feelings of contentment and joy. Culture constantly tells me that I must be better. Better at multi-tasking and managing. Better both at work and home. Better at doing more with less.
Yet, Scripture tells us Jesus died to make us free and that we are better simply by being in His presence.
So, here you will find there are no qualifications nor list of tasks you must complete to be eligible. You are made worthy not for the Pinterest-perfect, Instagram filtered version of yourself- but for the insecure, inconsistent, constantly seeking the next best thing version of yourself. The version of ourself that identifies best as a sinner in desperate need of a Savior. In Him we are free from to-do lists and deadlines. Free from striving. Free from the pursuit of perfection.
Free to be more than enough simply because He loves us, and we are His.
