Hannah GRACE is enough.

Your grace is enough. Your mercies are made new every morning. Your unfailing love will uphold me. How often do I read these verses and hear these phrases without truly grasping their meaning? I desire to be enough. I want to be loved, so desperatly, for me- flaws and all. How easily I forget that my Creator knows me and my heart better than even I. He understands my very being in every way, and created me with a unique personality. Yes, I am fallen and daily distort His perfect creation, but, oh ya, He knows that. And, oh ya, He loves me anyway. And He knows that I run around looking for love and looking for grace that can see past the poo and into a heart filled with all sorts of increadible gifts and desires. But do I really expect to look into the eyes of another human and find enough grace to cover a dirty and warped little girl? Is that sort of mercy possible? Doubtful. But I know that every time I look into the eyes of my God, I will find my reflection, and I will find that I am enough. I will be covered with grace, love, and acceptance. No, I can't live in sin and continually expect God to shove my iniquity under a rug, but if I have a heart that truly desires God, I'll find substance and open arms that will carry me through the days I can't walk through on my own. Praise God that His grace is enough. That I'm enough.
