Battling The Lie Of "I'm Not Good Enough"

What is it about you that makes you different?
What is it about you that makes you unique?
What is it about you that makes you… you?

Stop trying to measure up to SOMEONE ELSE’S standards. Stop comparing yourself to everyone around you. They are not YOU! YOU are you! And only you can be YOU!

I’m not smart enough… says who?
I’m not skinny enough… says who?
I’m not funny enough… says who?
I’m not strong enough… says who?
I’m not athletic enough… says who?

At some point in your life you stopped trying to be yourself and started trying to be like someone else. Maybe you saw a picture in a magazine or saw something on TV or maybe one of your friends got something or did something you always wanted to do. What happened? Why did you become so dissatisfied with you?

Something needs to change. Something needs to happen. Maybe there’s someone in your life who’s tearing you down day after day after day. Maybe your eyes aren’t able to properly focus, making it difficult to see yourself for who you are. Maybe your mirror is cracked and broken. Maybe the light is turned off. Maybe you experienced pain as a child and haven’t been able to let it go.

God created you for something FAR GREATER than you think you deserve. God doesn’t look at you and see a mistake; God looks at you and sees a potential WORLD CHANGER! God made you to be YOU, not somebody else! He made you ON purpose, WITH purpose, and FOR a purpose!

Let today be different.

Reflect:

• Why are you constantly beating yourself up?
• Have you grown so comfortable in the hurt that you’re willing to life in forever?
• Ask God to help you see you like He sees you.
