there are moments when i question. when i honestly wonder if i have what it takes. to become the man i yearn to be. to see the dreams in my heart come to pass in my life. there are moments when i question my own abilities. when i question if i’m good enough. there are moments when i honestly wonder how any woman could fall in love with a man as flawed as i am.
and i am reminded.
that it is in my weakness that He is strong. that this morning was birthed in grace. that He never let go. that i can rest.
that there is hope. for us both.
that the One who is holding me tonight….
that i am His child. no one elses.
i may not be the man i want to be, yet. but i’m closer than i was in January. and i’ll be closer still tomorrow.

since you always seem to echo my thoughts, i’ll share some of mine. we do question and doubt ourselves a lot of times, thinking how can anyone love someone like “this”. then a thought breezed through my mind: maybe instead of thinking whether we are “good enough”, or whether someone is willing to love us, the question is, if someone does love us despite of the flaws, will we be willing to accept that love? or will we push it away, thinking “oh this isn’t real, how can he/she love me? i’m not good enough for him/her…” and instead of opening the doors, the person gets shut off from our lives. then again, we wonder… is there someone…? not sure if this makes sense, but the quote “you cannot give what you don’t have” may have a counterpart: “you cannot receive what you are not willing to accept”.
just a thought for myself, not sure if it applies to you too. 🙂
