What Could Be the Worst Thing that Happens if I Accept I'm Not Enough?

---

What could be the worst thing that happens if I accept that I'm not enough?

Could it be that I would finally accept Your free gift of mercy, rather than seek to earn it,

Could it be that I'd finally be freed from living for other people's expectations,

Would it be that my body could finally be released from its harshest critic; myself?

Would it be that I'd worry less about my next pat on the back, and more of my eternal freedom?

Now really, what could be the worst thing that happens if I accept that I'm not enough?

Shall I finally start to gain my sense of self worth when I realize what You have given me,

May I regain my confidence when I see all that You have filled in for,

Shall my body be held in its highest esteem as the vessel for Kingdom work,

May my brain be the cornerstone to a life of humility and sacrifice?

What could be the most beautiful thing that happens if I rejoice because I am not enough?

To rejoice is to know I am no longer held by the shackles of shame.

To celebrate is to know I am free from my self-diluted, anxiety ridden, personally crafted identities.

To dance is to know I am molded piece by piece in the precious blood of a perfect father, rather than by the sweats of my deeds.

To release all of my shortcomings is to know that even my striving never could've finished the job.

To know I am not enough is to know that I have become righteous through nothing but the love of Jesus. May I dance and praise in this simple gospel the rest of my life.
