Has anyone ever told you, “you don’t measure up”?

Home | A Miracle Every Day | Miracles | Has anyone ever told you, “you don’t measure up”?

Our years in school can sometimes leave us with memories and scars that we’d rather forget. Sadly, it can be rare to find real, permanent encouragement and praise for students in our educational systems today.

Instead, grades, punishments, or comparisons often sent us messages like…“You’ll never be good enough,” “you don’t measure up,” “you’re not smart enough,” or simply, “you’re not capable of doing this.”

But God says something different!

And His is the voice we need to listen to.

God says to us, to you and me, “You are fully capable! You have the mind of Christ…you are brilliant and enough! I believe in you. You have already overcome so many challenges! Take a step, go forward…I’m with you!”

Let these words become real to you today, my friend. Let them lift you up!

Reread them and listen to them one more time. Declare to yourself, “You are fully capable! You have the mind of Christ…you are brilliant and enough! God believes in you. You have already overcome so many challenges! Take a step, go forward…God is with you!”

If you’d like, I invite you to worship this morning with this beautiful, sincere song by United Pursuit, “Simple Gospel.” Here are a few of the lyrics: “Lord, I’ve been told to be ashamed…Lord, I’ve been told I don’t measure up…Lord, I’ve been told I’m not good enough…But You’re here with me. I reach out and You find me in the dust…You say no amount of untruths can separate us…”

Be richly blessed today!

    Those words, “You have already overcome so many challenges! Take a step, go forward…I’m with you!”, have encouraged me today for my life and specially for the task at hand, which when I first started to work upon brought to my mind, words from childhood that, “I am not intelligent enough, how can I ever do this”. I refuse those wrong words and accept that I have mind of Christ and I can do all things through Him.

    I am so thankful to the Lord for the heart and creativity God has given you. I so appreciate the efforts you put into writing these messages and choosing related prayers, songs, testimonies/ videos. God bless you and fill you and family and team with His joy and victory.

    Shalom!!

    God is challenging me to serve him…. To trust him. And thus just came to me after a lady that I do not knew prayed for me, and told me that I have been given with a story of love that I can share with others and serve God, he is calling to his purpose.
    I need to know what that first step looks like….

    Please pray for me, for guidance. I am absolutely sure that our Lord has never ever leave me even my struggles, fears and doubts, he is faithful and constant in his love.

    Thanks for this word ???
