May we each live into our enoughness

A Devo:

Each and every day we need to remind ourselves that we are enough.

We were created by the one who has more than enough.

A Prayer:

God I am thankful and grateful for my enoughness. Lord thank you for loving on me. Thank you for loving on me. Thank you for calling on me. Thank you, thank you! I am so very grateful that you have made me to be enough.
