“God make my mind clear, clean, and help me find where to break free into the light by shedding fear.” ~ Tracy Worley
The first day of Christmas is in celebration of the incarnation of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Most of us enjoy the day; as a day off of our regular routine, work, great meals and spending time with family and friends.
This year my husband Tim and I have had an amazing miracle of bringing a bright too smart for his own good twelve-year old into our hearts and home. The first day of Christmas was spent in our jammies enjoying the giggles and heart of a young one. Even our cat Meow Meow Kitty Kitty and our two Border Collies, Jill and Kimber, joined in the adventure of wrapping paper mayhem.
As I sink back into the depth of our leather couch my mind went to God in gratitude of the blessings of the 12 Days of Christmas. Then doubt started to touch the back of my neck; the familiar nemesis of anxiety and fear; of “I am not good enough.”
Often we spend time in the shadows of self –doubt:
• I am not good enough.
• They will find out I am not all “that”.
• What if I shine too brightly, they will all hate me.
Let me start off by saying in Christ’s righteousness you are good enough! It is the shadows of the enemy that keep you in doubt, refrain of trying something new, or stepping out into your authentic God-given purpose.
God sent us wonderful grace and redemption through Jesus Christ.
Embrace His loveliness and beauty of a gracious heart for the one he loves is you!
Look Up and Out,
