Imagining this beautiful little girl asking the question, “Am I enough?” seems kind of silly. Would it ever occur to you that she was not? Yet, how many times have we silently wondered that about ourselves? It’s not a question that we often voice out loud, but it’s one that lingers in the recesses of our minds. It shows up in our insecurities, in our hesitations, and in the myriad ways we interact with the world around us.
We easily forget that even as adults we are “children” of God, and that He sees us in the same way we see this little girl…beautiful, innocent, lovable, wonderful, created for a purpose…the apple of His eye. Unfortunately, we lose sight of this and spend our lives jumping through hoops to prove our worth, when deep down inside we often feel far less than worthy.
