For the fellow women friends with whom I journey, inspired by I John 4:18-19: “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us” and John 8:58: “’Very truly I tell you,’ Jesus answered, ‘before Abraham was born, I AM!’”
Fearful
i am not enough
i am doing it all wrong
i am not good enough
i am not Asian enough
i am not White enough
i am simply not good enough
i am not—
i am too—
i am—
i get fearful of—
me.
Will i be enough for me?
Will i be too much for others?
Will i be too much for Him?
Will i be accepted, loved finally for me?
Will i love
me?
In Him, I AM is enough,
In Him, I AM is all sufficient,
In Him, I AM is love,
In Him, I AM is loveable,
In Him, I can love…
me.
