Sometimes I feel like I'm not doing enough.
Like maybe I should be doing more;
Creating more,
Putting more out there,
Being more productive.
Part of me keeps thinking that
I may be losing time,
Missing opportunities to reach people;
To inspire them,
To touch them,
To help them know that they are loved,
And they are worthy.
That they are not alone:
Someone sees them.
Someone understands.
And they're going to be okay.
But the other part of me;
The Spirit working through me,
Reminds me that
Good things take time.
God's not upset with me.
I'm not falling behind.
I'm exactly where I need to be at this point in time.
I may not see where I'm going yet
But I know He's working through me
And it's Him who will guide me-
Who will help me.
"Let His light shine through me
Help me to spread His grace
And mercy
And love.
Allow those who meet me
And interact with my works
To feel His presence
And those who need Him
To feel safe."
There's so much hurt here;
So much brokenness,
So much pain,
And I want to do what I can
To shine light in that darkness.
Help others to see their way out
So that they can help others too.
I'll get there one day.
But for now I'm just planting the seeds
And those seeds will spread
And sprout
In their own times
In their own way.
It's okay
To take things one day at a time.
There's no need to dwell on the past
Or worry about the future,
For the Lord takes care of His people.
One of the clearest ways
To recognize
That you're on the right track
Is that you care if you are.
You care about making the right decision.
You care about your impact.
You want to live in purpose
And you ask Him earnestly for guidance.
"Do not be afraid
Do not be discouraged
For the Lord our God is with us
Wherever we go;
His grace is sufficient.
He is enough."
He created me with a purpose.
So no matter what my intrusive thoughts may say
No matter the enemy's lies
I must always remember that:
I Am
And Always Have Been
Enough !
