They are heartbreaking words. "I've never been good enough." I heard someone speak them recently. Part of me wanted to immediately assure the individual that they are special and valuable. Another part of me, honestly, understands all too well how that has felt. In a world of comparison, competition, selfishness and exclusion, I suspect more people feel this way than we realize.
It is my sincere prayer that each person will realize how much their life truly matters. I also pray that we become more aware of how we treat each other on this journey. Our words can be destructive. Our jokes can be painful. Our actions can be damaging. Our indifference can be cruel.
He loved us enough to die for us. May we love Him enough to treat others with kindness, respect and love.<3~thl
