Whoa. Beautiful words.
It’s sometimes not about being “enough” is it? It’s about being “too much.” And where is the “goodness” in that? And what is “beauty” or “success” or “achievement” anyway?
Faithfulness, goodness and true heart beauty is never going to be found in a weight or dress size. Or IQ. Or college acceptance. Or salary. Truth is only found when God woos us. A deep, passionate longing He has for us.
