After being “so done” with people-pleasing, and being used by people, I went on a journey of what I thought would make me happy. And I choose isolation and selfishness. It only spiraled down from there and I found myself in a pit of worthlessness.
I didn’t know if God loved me, or if he wanted me. I wanted Him to want me, but I just didn’t know what he thought of me.
But then I discovered just how glad He was to be my Father. It was the joy He had for me that began to open my eyes to what I meant to Him. And His love became my center.
Finding out what I meant to God changed everything.
With His love as my center, I discovered exactly who I was created to be. I didn’t know it before, but this “who” was the person I had always wanted to be. It was the “me” that I had been searching for all my life.
I thought I wanted to be a million other things, being completely and unconditionally loved changed what I thought I wanted, and gave me exactly what my soul was longing for. I realized there is no “finding myself” that exist without “finding myself in HIM.”
We are loved, valued, priceless, enough.
And there is something so freeing about being enough to God.
I encourage you to ask God, “Am I enough?” It might just change how you see yourself.
