ENOUGH!
by Kathy Pegram

“And you did not receive the 'spirit of religious duty,' leading you back into the fear of never being good enough. But you have received the 'Spirit of full acceptance,' enfolding you into the family of God. And you will never feel orphaned, for as he rises up within us, our spirits join him in saying the words of tender affection, “Beloved Father!” (Romans 8:15 TPT)

For too long the enemy has tried to convince many of us, well most of us if we are honest with ourselves, that we are never good enough, never pretty enough, never smart enough, just never enough – ever! We have to realize, as Christians, that we have now “received the Spirit of full acceptance … into the family of God.” God doesn’t measure our value on whether we’re doing enough or not. We’re accepted by Him regardless of what’s on our to-do list or in our trophy case!

I believe it is time to stop wondering if you’re doing enough! You have a God-given purpose, and it’s not the same as the person beside you. You’re God’s beloved child just the way He created you, whether you’re resting or you’re working—no matter if you fail the test or win the race. True contentment will come when we embrace and pursue the calling God has created uniquely for each of us. And ultimately, we will know we’re doing enough because, through Christ, we are enough!

Love & Prayers,
