“Remind Me Who I Am”

You ARE enough.

The world we live in provides continuous message bombardment of what success means—-

Do this. Do that. Think this. Think that. Look like this. Look like that.

Be this. Be that.

These messages can leave us feeling inadequate. I think these lyrics from Lauren Daigle’s song “You Say” capture how many of us sometimes feel—-

I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I’m not enough

Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up

Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low?

Remind me once again just who I am, because I need to know

But we are enough! We are children of the Divine. We need to see ourselves through His eyes and NOT those of the world—-

The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me

In You I find my worth, in You I find my identity

Let Him take your inadequacies—-

Taking all I have and now I’m laying it at Your feet

You’ll have every failure God, You’ll have every victory

You are a child of God and THAT is a lot. That measures up. That is adequate. That is enough.

You ARE His.

So…

Fight the negativity. Ignore the lies. Let Him fight your battles. Let Him tell your truth.

I love this a cappella version of Lauren’s song by BYU Noteworthy. It is worth a listen.

Main idea: The world’s measures of success can leave us feeling inadequate, but our deepest worth comes from knowing we are children of God and belong to Him.
Practical takeaway: When voices tell you that you don’t measure up, stop using the world’s measuring stick. Ask instead what God sees when He looks at you.
One question to ponder: Which voice has been defining my worth lately: the world’s expectations, my own insecurities, or the voice of the God who calls me His?
