Poem: The End of Myself

Deconstructing "Being Enough"

In our weakness, our God is more than enough. May this psalm encourage you to run to Him when you are at the end of yourself.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 says, “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”

The End of Myself

I can't fill the gaps
Of all that I lack
With
  More of myself
  More accomplishments
  More worthiness
  More togetherness
  More sweet, pretty prayers
  More "I'll be good, I swear"
  More Instagram-able smiles
  More days in Sunday aisles.

I can't fill the gaps
Of all that I lack
With
  Less humanity.

"I'm not enough."
Is the cure.
Not the disease.

"I'm broken."
Is the solution.
Not the problem.

The end of myself
Is where You, my Savior,
Can finally begin.
