You are enough…

But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! 1 John 3:1

As you know, most of the time, I am encouraging you to “do your destiny.” I want you to fulfill all the things that the Lord has planned for you to accomplish. I remind you that you are a Superstar, and you have a great calling and a destiny from God. I challenge you to take classes, and finish projects, and create content to disciple the nations.  But, today, I want to remind you that you are enough. Just as you are.

Sometimes we can get so focused on finishing a project that we don’t remember that we have value, no matter what we do, or don’t do. God loves us without placing any conditions on His love. That means He loves you whether you ever write your book, or not. He loves you whether you ever complete you short film, or not. He loves you whether you ever record your song, or not. He loves you, whether you ever accomplish anything else in your life, or not.

Yesterday, the Lord reminded me of the same thing. He loves me no matter what I do, or do not, accomplish.

God wants to spend time with us. He wants to be with you. He wants to have fun with you. Jesus knocks at your door, and asks if you can come out and play. Don’t be someone that tells Him that you are too busy to spend time doing something fun with Him.  God loves us because that is who He is. God is love.

Yes, God wants us to do our destiny. Yes, He wants us to disciple the nations. Yes, He wants us to do all He has planned. But, He doesn’t want us to ever think that His love is conditional on whether we do, or not. He loves us, not because of what we do, but because of who we are.  He loves you because of who YOU are.  You are Father God’s child. You are the Bride of Christ. You are the temple of the Holy Spirit. You are His. And, you are enough.

Accept God’s love today. Know that no matter what you are going through, He is there for you! This is how God showed His love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:9-10
