YOU ARE WORTHY, EVEN WHEN YOU DO NOT FEEL WORTHY

Whenever the fears of not being good enough, smart enough, or any other kind of “enough” begin to fill your mind, may you know that there is still time to rest and breathe and remind yourself of what is true:

You have already come so far.

Your present circumstances or current feelings do not define who you are.

Your lowest moments will not hinder you from reaching the heights you were called to. 

And in the highs and lows of it all, you are still being led where you are meant to be. 

As you journey in that direction, you will have the strength and courage you need.

So take heart in the places where you feel uncertain about yourself, and when you wonder if the opportunity should have been given to someone else. You are worthy, even when you do not feel worthy. You are making progress even when it does not seem like it. You are still making meaningful contributions in this life, even when your hard work was overlooked. There is a bigger picture here that you are not able to see, but you are free to trust and believe that your faithfulness in this season still means something.

Some of the things you are investing in will not yield fruit for years to come. Some of the people that you are pouring into the most have the hardest time articulating what you mean to them. Some of the things you are really gifted in have yet to be articulated. But do not be discouraged by this. There are so many variables as to why you have to wait to see certain things come to life. But in the meantime, you are not empty because of it. You are not missing out on what you have been called to do because the pieces have yet to come together.

Not everything will fall into place in the way you want it to, but Light is still ever-guiding you and you will not be abandoned on the journey of discovering the depths of your worth. Not everyone will support you or make you feel included, but you are still free to belong in this life just as much as anyone else. Your work is still not in vain, even when it looks that way. Your ability to love from the deepest place of your heart still matters, no matter how your love was received. Your curiosity and passion for pursuing a meaningful life is still valuable, even in your most uncertain seasons.

You are enough.

This space you are in is enough.

You are still being directed.

You have still come so far.

And the lows that you are experiencing in the present moment do not define who you are.
