Good Enough

You are good enough,

I speak that over myself and the others,

You are good enough.

Receive this word

You are good enough.

We are precious.

We are unique.

We are image-bearers

And there is simply no other

Like us.

We take a step forward.

Then wonder

Am I good enough?

Then we take a step backward

Convincing ourselves

That surely someone else

Can do it better.

The truth of the matter is

That we are the only ones

Who can speak, do or be

What needs to be said, done or be.

There is only a you.

There is only a me.

I still hear,

“You are not good enough.”

Was that the voice of a parent,

or a teacher,

a sibling,

or a religious leader?

The One who created you

says you are good.

The One who knitted you

in your mother’s womb

Loves you.

The Lover of your soul

looks at you with love

So

Take His hand

And believe

You are good enough

Speak it over yourselves,

Over your daughters and

Over your sons.

Speak grace and courage

Over your husband,

Over your wife.

That we will all live life to the fullest

And be the persons we are created to be

We are good enough.

[ When I use the words good enough, I refer to our incomparable value and potential as unique human beings created by a loving God.]
