Am I Enough?

This question always seems to haunt me... I can go days, weeks even, without thinking about it and be fine. But! (Yea, there's always a "but", huh?), something happens, someone says or does something that brings this question to life again and it's all downhill from there.

Most of you would probably never guess that I struggle with all this negativity, except for a select few of my closest friends and family (bless their hearts!), whom I appreciate so very much. You see, I try to carry myself in such a way that shows Gods light and love. How is it that I can do that if I'm not truly experiencing it for myself though? How can I truly love anyone if I don't love myself? It's not possible...

Gods Word says in Matthew 22:39 - "Love others AS WELL AS you love yourself." I've failed miserably because, though I love people, I haven't shown myself the same respect. Wow... That's a hard pill to swallow! They say the key to healing and getting better is admitting you have a problem...

Here I am Daddy, admitting that I have a problem. I repent for not loving myself, when You have commanded me to do so. I ask You to forgive me now, heal my heart and set me free, God. Show me myself through Your eyes. Show me how to love me like You do Daddy. Break these chains that bind me! Thank You for always loving me! I love You!

Love always,
Your little girl - learning to love me
