Just Me...

I Am Enough

by Ashley J. Moore

4.1.12

I am enough

Just as I am

No need to look around me

Comparing and contrasting

Trying to alter, adjust, measure up, and make up for

Trying to win and keep...my stuff, "his" eye, “his” heart, my place, my position…

God has settled me

He settled me in His truth

The truth that makes me free

The truth that reminds me who and whose I am

The truth that reminds me that what God has for me is for me

The truth that reminds me that HE is the one who's keeping me and preserving my destiny

The truth that reminds me that in Him I am enough

The truth that reminds me that it's IN HIM that I "live and move and have my being"

The truth that reminds me that "my sufficiency is in Him"

The truth that frees me to develop the me that I was created to be

Rather than looking about me, checking myself, uncertain, unsure, afraid, always trying- Never settled…

NOPE.

Not anymore

I am enough

My sufficiency is in Him

He's not only keeping me, but He's also keeping the things, places, positions, and people He has for me

So...

"I fling my arms wide...dance...and whirl" as Langston Hughes might say

I delight in me

I delight in His love

I am okay

I am enough

I am free

I am now free

Not only to love and develop "me"

But also free to love, encourage, and uplift my sisters and brothers

I am now free to love and live and be

No fear

Just love

and liberty

Free to be

Free to embrace

Me
