In the Heart of a Blue

For those who read my previous post, did it stir up as much discomfort in you as in me? 

Worthiness, shame, love, acceptance, relationships. 

I am enough. Am I? 

We love to add qualifiers subconsciously to the statement. 

‘I am enough if I get this going in my life.’ 

‘I am enough when I get out of this mess’ 

‘I am enough when I stop failing’

‘I am enough if my life is perfect without all these circumstances I didn’t ask for’ 

We love Him because He first loved us. - 1 John 4:19

May you feel beautiful today. May you feel strong and brave and capable of becoming the person you have always dreamed of being. May your goals be reachable, your bad habits be kickable, your talents be usable and your heart be teachable. May you take negativity on the chin and refuse to harbor it within. May you be fierce in your pursuit of happiness, and maintain your composure when things don’t go your way. May you be kind and gracious, even when it requires more effort. May you take less for granted, and remain thankful for the big AND the small moments you experience. May you find joy in the service of others, and forgiveness when you look into your past. May you feel a sense of belonging, of hope and of purpose. May you be reminded today that you are royal and wise, with a sense of discernment to keep you from trouble. May you see the goodness in the eyes of those around you, and be willing to sacrifice a moment of your time for a glimpse of their happiness. May you acknowledge that the standards of beauty you compare yourself to, are set by you and you alone. May you see you are in control, and you decide what you will or won’t brand yourself, or weigh yourself down over. May you find a sense of acceptance each day, towards a new area of your life, your body, your mind and your circumstances. May you maintain your faith, your relationship with Christ and your spiritual health, and treat it as the breath of life that it is. May you be grateful for the things you have, rather than downcast over the things you do not. May you choose to see the light at the end of the tunnel, the bridge crossing over the raging river and the stairway that leads up the mountain. May you find the silver lining, the golden edge and the rainbow; and may you remember to treat each day as if it were your last. May you never miss a beat, skip a step or run away from what is to come; because you were born to experience it all - and to still make it out alive, ready to tell a story of victory and triumph. Don’t give up… May you never, ever give up.
