How do I stop feeling like I'm not good enough?

You made it to Monday. Maybe Tuesday. And somewhere between the alarm and the first cup of coffee, the list started. The thing you said. The thing you did again. Maybe you have wondered, quietly, whether love like that runs out eventually. Whether enough mistakes means enough distance. Paul wrote Romans 8 after years of his own wreckage, and he did not write a warm thought. He wrote something he was bone-deep convinced of.

"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

- Romans 8:38-39 (KJV)

Write this on a scrap of paper before lunch: 'Nothing I did this week moved me further from that love.' Put it on the bathroom mirror or your phone screen. Not to excuse staying where you are. To give you ground to stand on while you take the next step.

What would it free you to do today if you believed nothing you did could push that love away?

Father, I keep bracing for You to pull back. Thank You that Your love does not work that way. Hold me in it today, especially in the places I am most ashamed of. Amen.
