Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
– Psalm 73:25-26

Another voice, another choice
To listen to words somebody said
Another day
I replay
One too many doubts inside my head
Am I strong
Beautiful
Am I good enough
Do I belong
After all
That I’ve said and done
Is it real
When I feel
I don’t measure up
Am I loved
CHORUS
I’m running to the One who knows me
Who made every part of me in His hands
I’m holding to the One who holds me
‘Cause I know whose I am, I know who I am
I am sure I am Yours
Turning down
Tuning out
Every single word
That caused me pain
Unashamed
And unafraid
‘Cause I believe You mean it when You say
I am strong
Beautiful
I am good enough
I belong
After all
‘Cause of what You’ve done
This is real
What I feel
No one made it up
I am loved
CHORUS
I am sure I am Yours
I know who I am
I am sure I am Yours
Fearfully
Wonderfully
Perfectly
You have made me
I’m running to the One who knows me
I’m holding to the One who holds me
CHORUS
I am sure I am Yours
And I know who I am
~ Who I Am, by Blanca
Holding on to my Savior and His truths about who I am and the plans that He has for me.<3
No matter the bumps
No matter the bruises
No matter the scars
Still the truth is
The cross has made
The cross has made you flawless
No matter the hurt
Or how deep the wound is
No matter the pain
Still the truth is
The cross has made
The cross has made you flawless
“Flawless,” by MercyMe
What an amazing truth!
No matter what I’ve thought, done, experienced, or struggle with, I don’t have to beat myself up. I don’t have to rehash it in my mind. I don’t have to try to cover it up. I don’t have to attempt to be perfect.
Jesus has paid for my sins in full, and I have been wrapped in His righteousness.
He offers me (and you) grace! And all that we need to do is accept it.
Today, as we experience life…let’s let go of the desire to “measure up” in every way possible. Let’s rest in the arms of Jesus, and in His perfect love and mercy. I want so much to do this! And I hope that you will try it along with me. ❤
